Hi Ryan,
I understand your confusion! Many years ago I was having similar difficulty. Because it is important to report the correct species of fish in our Survey reports I was instrumental in spearheading the Fish ID Card. It is a small waterproof card with pictures and descriptions of 8 of the most likely to catch local species of fish. I still carry one with me in my bag of survey tools. You can purchase one at the meeting for 5 bucks or order directly from our website. From the home page go to Science/Trout ID card where you can see a pic of it and order one through Pay Pal for $6.75.
Thanks for wanting to provide accurate survey reports, Welcome, and I look forward to meeting you. DonI drove into the Trout Lake trailhead last week and it was open. There was an amazingly huge earthslide over the road that has been repaired by building new road over the top of it. I found some small rainbows lurking near the bottom off from the inlet using a small spinning lure.
Greetings everyone,
I’ve been a Hi-Laker for about 13 years and the NCNP Fish Stocking news this a.m. on the TV has prompted me to try my hand for the very first time on a Forum.
I found the AP news story informative and it mentioned Sandy more than once. It is here: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5i5_8qclNL7Q2sC6mEPDc8o-nTANAD97HEBN80
I also found the Park’s policy on their website here:
http://parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome.cfm?parkId=327&projectId=10007I was surprised to see TV the news story. It was brief and concentrated the tone on killing fish in mountain lakes within the park unless congress gives their approval to stock up to 42 lakes with nonreproducing trout.
This public disclosure will be very interesting to watch to see if it helps or hurts the cause to plant.
Of course my opinion is that the plan, as drafted, should be given approval by Congress. Typically, there are overzealous individuals within any group and it appears to me that the “environmentalists” against this reasonable and not harmful fish stocking are seriously overreacting.
What do you think?
