[quote albinotrout]Most likely trout trout and more trout [crazy][/quote]
No and no. The committee was not for trout as the main species. It's known that trout can do well in Red Fleet but no one wanted to go with rainbows again so tiger trout were decided upon to see how they would do and they are very popular. Cutthroat are intended to provide primarily a stream component and a native fish reintroduction. The Boneytail chub is there, as an experiment only, to provide a unique sportfishing opportunity (if it works) and hopefully a forage fish for the primary predators. Apparently it has been tried elsewhere in Colorado with some success. The Feds are already chipping in on the cost because of the action to protect the Green River Endangered fish. The primary sport fish will be wipers, sterile walleye, and tiger trout. Secondary sport fish will be black crappie and yellow perch, but they will be managed primarily as forage for the others.
