Well, it's more mistake correction than anything.
More like KILLING EM by the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS and then allowing their carcass's to lay out and rot in the sun.
Like I posted, so Intelligently human.

I had never even heard of the Paiute, Rick. Had to Google it up. A rare sort of Cutthroat? Beautiful fish.
Didn't realize you were into fishing, also??

Yup... five sticks/reels and a table full of hackle, feathers, hooks, vise etc.

Good memories.
C & R all the time here.... regardless.

For me, it depends on the fish, the system I'm fishing and just what the hell I'm doing there. Generally, I'm a C&R fisherman, but hatchery fish are meant for the freezer and are not for spawning with wild fish stocks. On many streams up here, ODFW will trap those anadromous species of hatchery origin which escape both the commercial and sport catch. Generally, the fish are killed and returned to the river or stream as a means of returning nutrients within the system.
So, I tend to keep a fair amount of hatchery Chinook, Coho and Steelhead. Native fish are always returned whether allowable to keep or not. Same for trout, stream or lake. But when in the BC for a good stretch, I tend to depend on a fish or two to cover a couple/few meals depending on how long I'm in. Most of our "high" lakes are stocked by air every couple of years, winter kill amongst them being relatively high. If the funded resource is available, I'd rather put it to use.

Most of the lakes out of Onion Valley were also done and the frog populations have rebounded. I think the more popular fishing lakes will continue to stay stocked or at least not netted.
Isn't that so intelligently human .... terminate "KILL" thousands of several species in order to save one.
Well, it's more mistake correction than anything. People purposely introduced a species into the lakes and now we're taking it back out. I agree it's a little odd to be simultaneously gill netting some lakes and stocking others.
