Re: Flatbrook Survey
Billfish I respect your statement. in terms of the brook trout program, I do think it's important to sustain the sparse brook trout population in the state. Brook trout efforts don't usually interfere with stocked trout efforts as these are usually tiny streams where stocked trout are better dumped further downstream in tailwaters. Future generations would like if we kept brook trout around to be fishable. I don't expect the state to put many resources into brook trou conservationt though.
I agree there isn't a distinct goal, but rather it's a bunch of goals all together. I don't see it as a bad thing as the state does need to cater to all the different trout fishermen. Like NJsquatch said, the goals are shaped by economics, they stock trout to sell licenses. You need a license if you want to fish for stocked trout, wild trout, or native trout. Thats why they give all different types of trout fishing attention.
