[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Hi, Ciscokid,[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]First of all, Welcome to the site. Glad to have you. Are you referring to the DWR's gill nets? I've been on a gill net study, as has many others on this board, and I endorse responsible practice of gillnetting for research purposes. The data collected by fisheries biologists helps them to evaluate the resource and determine what, if any, changes in management practices are needed to maintain the resources that you and I enjoy.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]As for the buoys that were on the rockpile this fall, as I understand it, and to qualify this, I'm just a fisherman like you, USU was doing research by gather spawn samples and also there was a gill net study. You really need to get out on a gillnet study. It's very interesting and most, if not all, fish are carefully release, unharmed, back into the lake after weight and length measurements are taken.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]When I went on the Bear Lake spring gillnet study, cutthroat were kept so organ specimens could be kept to check for diesease and parasites. The fisheries bologists are genuinely concerned in maintaining the health and numbers of the fish.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I hope that a few of the DWR guys will chime in here and help everyone here to better understand the practice of gillneting for research. Thanks for your concen for the fish of Bear Lake, ciscokid. Like you, I quite enjoy spending the day up there chasing fish.[/size][/black][/font]
