While they may not "publish" gill netting results to the public, they absolutely have the data from those annual surveys. This information would be easy to obtain simply by requesting it from regional biologists that manage Scofield.
The most important information you could ask for would NOT be the lengths and weights of the fish sampled, but rather the condition factor (K factor). This is the metric that tells the biologists how the fish are doing. It is a number that can quickly let any of us know whether the fish are slowly dying, or thriving. It would be even more beneficial if we also had the K factor for the fish when they were stocked last summer / fall, and then could compare the K factor from this spring.
A K factor of less than 1 would mean the fish are in poor health.
that's the info you want.[/quote]
I wish the DWR would put the gill net results from the different reservoirs on there website so the public can see them. The post the big game survey data, management plans ect … but I don't know why they don't do the same for fishing. I wish at least they would post the gill net surveys on the more popular lakes, Willard, Strawberry, Scofield or Jordanele
