Hmmm now we're thinking productively. Possibly walleye could be an answer. Everybody has heard about the walleye perch relationship, and it would probably be interesting to see what would happen. The walleyes, although they would eat some fish like a few kokanees, would not be as detrimental to the kokanee population as perch would be because perch eat the same plankton that kokanee love. I know this probably isn't a viable solution and there are probably better ones out there. I very much prefer the idea of kamloops or something like that because It would be less detrimental towards the kokes and a reknowned fishery throughout the west would be born... who knows what may become of this problem.
i suggest we all email the dow at their site and ask them to put a fish like kamloop in blue mesa, and we encourage other anglers we know to do the same thing. I also suggest we discuss this with the biologists that are in charge of blue mesa; so many people saying the same thing may or may not lean their opinion slightly. Now, I know TU is definitely not a group most fisherman approve of, but if we could possibly get their comment on this and we get them to discuss it with DOW, we may have something cooking here...
