[indent]i can say i would much rather catch a cutt. and would love to see them return to there original numbers (which i think will never happen.) now saying that i think the only way they will ever see a large increase in numbers is if they stop planting bows and start planting cutts. I have asked f&g why they dont do this, mainly in the southeast area were the bonniville cutts are. and they always say the same thing they are looking for a pure strain. and like you said i dont think that strain exsists from all of the planting of bows and other strains of cutts.
now saying this. the cutts are a native species. but i have often wondered what waters these species were able to live in. for instance i dont believe for a moment that the bonn. cutt survived in great numbers in the lower bear river. and i am sure its the same for streatches of the snake, and bows, bass... and other species are able to survive and thrive in these areas. i realy think its a no win situation no matter what side your on, i think there has to be some common ground.
