From my personal perspective the June Sucker's fate was sealed in the 1800's. The efforts to save it in its "natural habitat" (as if Utah Lake is anything like the natural habitat it was in the 1800's) may be admirable, but IMHO, futile.
I'd love a great Pike fishery 10 minutes from my house.
But the way the Endangered Species act is written and sometimes enforced, there is a real chance things could get much worse rather than better .... not just for UL but for the reservoirs in the tributary system.
So I'm all for cooperating with what I view as a Lost Cause in order to avoid consequences I may really hate.
