I just wonder why the state hasn't looked for a small baitfish suited to higher altitude cold and summer heat because all of the game species around here prey on other game species so the boom and bust curse is an ongoing problem. I think it would be best to have a sustained population of small fry that every fish thinks taste like chicken. In Oklahoma we had such an abundance of gizzard shad that everything got big, and in the same water. I know that shad would winter kill at the Nelle but there has got to be some sort of little banquet delight that would thrive there. Rotenone is no longer cost effective, especially on a lake that size, and it would take years for the lake and the Provo River to recover from such an indiscriminate kill. I think that shiners could really turn things around for consistent hog fishing but, then again, i'm not a biologist so this is just wishful thinking at best. I still think it's worth some research.
