Bass are great in the right places, but they will destroy the balance in a trophy trout lake. F&G are careful in how many trout they plant and have special rules there to allow the maximum grow rate for those fish. When you put a competing species in there, the food only goes so far. Bass can reproduce in the lake, and their large numbers will quickly reduce the food supply for all. F&G has electroshocked many of the bass there and moved them to other "bass" fisheries.
Treasureton is the only trophy trout fishery in the Preston area. All of the other lakes are bass and put-take. Why someone felt they need bass in the only lake that was large trout only ....who knows!
Treble hooks are legal in the trophy trout lakes unless it states "single point" hooks only. Must be barbless though.
