With all the problems with Hatcheries and Gill lice it sure seems like now would be a great time to invest in self-sustaining species.
Granby would be a great candidate as they can feed on the abundant Mysis shrimp, give us a new sports fish while being a great food source for Large Lake Trout.
The Hatcheries can't keep up with the demand for Rainbows as it is.
If they can come up with a 73 page Lake management plans for a little 360 acre lake like Rifle Gap why can't they figure out how to do an enhancement project at a 7,200 acre lake that would actually make a big difference in the overall health of the lake while reducing the dependency of hatcheries.
I've mentioned this at DPW meetings, talked to Brett Johnson at CSU and Jon Ewert and Sherman Hebein with the DPW about it without any results.
