thin out some of the browns is exactly right, if a trophy potentail fishery is what you are aiming for. there are often different goals between different management agencies, and even between individual biologists for that matter. quantity vs. quality vs. native vs. non-native vs.....
personally, i am far more concerned about otter predation on the population of the special concern columbia spotted frog (native) throughout the heber valley than the kaisers in the river.
it can be easy to gripe about numbers and quality of fish available to catch, and I do not mean to come off as a complete cynic, but maybe a lot of us anglers just aren't quite as good as our mind's eye sees it, I know I can be guilty of it.
