Would love to see usky but they can not seem to get )non-VHS) eggs and the state is afraid of planting musky due to the reproduction and not being able to control them as easily.....
When we look at the total number of lakes in the state as a percentage that have trout vs bass/pike/musky it is very much a one sided equation....just would like to see this come to atleast closer to equilibrium.
I have been told there are pike in the green river but I seem to have a tough time finding info on where there are numbers in the state of pike (since we have very few musky). LOVE to catch these fish....It is just a rush to have a 40+" fish follow to the boat and turn away...little lone hook it and have a FIGHT ON! I have fished for trout extensively and just find it much less likely to hook a 15# trout in Utah than the likelyhood of hooking a 15# pike or musky if the lakes were 50/50 and it seems from a sportfishing standpoint most people prefer to target larger fish.
How about the idea of planting Kamloops rainbows in the Gorge or other Utah bodies of water - just a thought :-)
