In Utah maybe, but not everywhere. The reason it's boom and bust here is because our waters usually have one predator species and one prey species. So it goes out of balance easily. If we could have more baitfish species, then the boom-bust cycles would be minimized.
As for your other comment on feeding the 'eyes in Starvation, the DWR's preferred management strategy is to let the lakes balance themselves. Feeding sportfish is a losing proposition.
