Blackfoot River and Reservoir

[SF_Austin]

I've done some carp bowfishing in the blackfoot, it's an absolute blast! I do agree, they are getting out of hand (I'm happy to contribute to the eradication effort!!) I'm going to pose a suggestion based on a fairly uneducated platform, take it for what it's worth. I've been following this thread and everyone mentions the cutthroat population issues, but it's a very warm water reservoir, especially for around here, cutthroat dont like that. Why not put some warm water species in the reservoir? Bass, crappies, bluegill, catfish. I realize the worthy effort of keeping the cutthroat population up to standards and bass would probably wipe em out. I'm sure I've opened a can of worms here, but I do think the IDFG could do a better job at planting some different species in some of our local reservoirs so we're not just trout fishing all the time and maybe blackfoot would be a good place to try it. Take it for what it's worth.
