What I would really like to see F & G get rid of are all the damn Squawfish in Arrowrock. Growing up here, my grandpa and I fished the heck out of Arrowrock and caught plenty of nice trout. Out of 10 years of fishing pre 1980's, I probably caught a dozen or so fish that were not trout in Arrowrock.
Now it seems like all you catch there are squawfish. About 5yrs ago when he had the big mormon cricket invasion up that way, I fished and caught over a hundred squaw fish in a period of a day. Not a single trout. I used crickets on the bottom, crickets on a bobber, worms on the bottom, worms on a bobber, trolled. Nothing but squawfish..
In the old days we could use minnows as long as they were from the reservoir where you were fishing. Bucket dumpers have ruined those times... Aint nothing like watching a minnow on a bobber freak out when a big old trout comes a calling...
