[quote Northman]Those Rainbows look like they were raised in a hatchery to get to that size then planted. The fish tails don’t get beat up like that getting planted as fingerlings then growing to that size in the lake. You can’t plant 14 to 16 inch Rainbows in the fall then net those same fish in the spring to justify that the “management”plan is working. The Hail Mary was that the Wipers could mow down the chubs.... and they found one that survived the winter. The only good thing I can see is that the Tiger muskys are doing well. But the muskys take advantage of the large chub population not control it.[/quote]

They didn't plant Rainbow Trout from 2013 through most of 2017. Of course the catch rate has gone up.

Quote:The rainbow trout catch rates are the highest we’ve seen since 2009. Their lengths ranged from 11-16.25 inches, and the average length was 13.5 inches. We saw the highest combined catch rate for all trout since 2010.
