[#0000FF][cool]I'm witchoo. Can't have it both ways...lots of fish and big fish too. If the chubs are eliminated...along with all the current crop of big fish...there will be far fewer big fish in the future. What do people think the truly BIG fish are eating? Zooplankton? Not. They eat meat...as in chubs...lots of chubs. Virtually every big tiger trout (and cutt) taken from Scofield has a belly full of chubkind.
Eliminating chubs will make more micro trout chow available but after the trout reach the upper teen incher size they will slow down in growth and will die before becoming 2 footers.
And, on another note, walleyes might not be good candidates for Scofield but keep yer eyes open for the possibility of sterile saugeyes being introduced in chub-laden waters in the future. I heerd tell...
