I have never been to little payette, but your argument got me thinking.
Henrys is capable of producing food for the huge number of fish that are stocked at that particular lake. It is teeming with acquatic insects, scuds, leeches etc... The fish are always fat and a little tough to catch at times because they have a huge natural food source.
Is little payette that fertile, or is it deep and rocky? There are a large number of cutts released at Ririe every year. However they never get really big as far as fat. They are usually 13-18" long and really snake like. Some even have big heads small bodies a sure sign of starvation.
Just wondering if that might change your outlook.
