[quote ColdWaterCoord]According to some work that we did at Joe's Valley when we were attempting to net out the cubs from 2005-208, a single female chub produces 11,000 eggs (compared with 1000-2000 for a female trout). In the three years of netting pre-spawn chubs, we removed about 40,000 pounds of chubs and an estimated 940,000,000 (yes,, nearly a billion) eggs from the system. At the end of a lot of hard work, it made absolutely no difference. [red]The remaining chubs just reproduce too fast for partial methods to be effective.[/red]
The DWR's mission statement is that we are the caretakers and guardians of the public's resource. We will eventually do what is legal, fiscally responsible, and in the interest of the majority of the angling public.[/quote]
Partial, as in biological (Tiger Trout) methods as well.
I'll say it, even if w&b won't. Otter Creek. Huge Tigers. Chubs currently pretty much under control.
