As I look through the stocking reports, I see a lot of Kokanee being stocked in Fish Lake as recently as yesterday. I don't see any put into East Canyon reflected in the report. Maybe it has not yet been updated.
It is a little disheartening to see that only 7 waters received stockings of fishable (not-June Sucker), non-salmonid species. I typically only fish for trout when I go to the high mountains so I would prefer to see a little more focus on fish diversity. Hopefully it is just early in the season or they aren't including other species on this report. Hopefully.
Starvation got 399 perch 8" long, which seems relatively insignificant in my admittedly uneducated opinion.
6 waters got tiger muskies, including 18K (roughly a third of all stocked) to Yuba. Any thoughts on why they are putting them in one of the few lakes with naturally reproducing Pike in Utah? Weren't they trying to thin the pike a couple of years ago? Maybe this is part of a plan to add enough managed predators to outcompete the breeders?
