Sand hollow has already been stocked with Largemouth bass and blue gill. If anybody watched Doug Miller you would know that. The lake is open to recreational boating but the fishing will not be open til 2004. As far as the water level it's up to conservation levels which is more then I can say for Quail.
Walleye are very hard to manage. Consider the 10 year cycle that Yuba goes thru. The only lake that could be considered for walleye would be Piute and that because the Sevier River runs into Yuba.
Johnson Resevoirs tiger muskie didn't take because of the low water quality. They did migrate into Fish lake, hopefully they don't damage this fishery.
SOUTHERNMAN that was some harsh words for somebody that doesn't live in Utah but considering the major drought Southern Utah is in, it's basically true.
Retenone is expensive for the DWR to use and if everybody remembers how big the project was at Strawberry. The DWR uses retenone to kill of "trash fish" (chubs and shiners) not forage fish.
Everybody think about the last time hooking into a Utah chub and getting mad about this trash fish. Now think about where it came from and why it's all over Utah.
The utah chub is from the virgin river drainage but fisherman transplanted it other places in utah thinking more food or whatever but now it's the main reason for killing of lakes. The other reason is the Golden Shiner from Nevada and transplanted by fisherman also.
Utah should charge Nevada for the Shiner breeding program in Southern Utah.
