Those are the same facts I’ve heard from biologists. It’s easy to look at Midwestern ecosystems and say, “hey the same thing will happen out west”. But, ecosystems are fickle, and not all behave the same. Seems like there’s a lot distrust in our biologists and those managing our fisheries, and a lot of it happens to come from their priority to promote trout, salmon and steelhead. Just because they have a priority, doesn’t mean their philosophy on warm water species and their potential impact is flawed. I think people need to start trusting the scienctific facts that our fisheries managers bring to the table. Nothing is perfect, but bucket biologist are the perfect example showing that people do not want to listen to the facts. Idaho has a lot of opportunity, and it’s hard to make everyone happy, but I think people need to be thankful for the opportunity rather than continue to push for more and more. Just my two cents.
