Great Post! I to grew up fishing Yellowstone lake. We would sit on Dad's boat and catch so many fish that my arms would get tired. My Dad would just walk around the boat with the net helping me and my 3 siblings get fish off our lines. I remember one year my sister was sick of catching fish and she put a peace of her chee-do on her spinner and just left it about 4 ft under the water. Sure enough she caught a fish. I love that lake, I love the native fish that used to be a huge part of the food chain up there. Earlier this summer I was up there talking to a fish and game officer at the marina, he said that dispite the efforts they have been unsucessfull in making any headway in getting the Mack's out of there. The feds had a deal with a fishing company that makes dog food to come get them out but lost the deal due to the mercury levels in the water. The company said that even though the levels are no were near enough to hurt a human or a animal, they could not risk the bad press. I too am 
to see this paradise get over run by the mack's. I hope and pray for someone to come up with a way to get the mac's out.
p.s. you would think with all the information we have these days we could come up with a chemical that would kill the lake trout or steralise them and not harm the cuts. I guess we probly could come up with a chemical like that if we were willing to put the money into it.
