A 20 yr. government effort to restore the population of an endangered native trout in Colorado has made little progress because biologists have been stocking waterways with the wrong fish. A NEW STUDY SHOWS.
Just when you think you know it all, look what happens. The older I get the more I have to learn. It never ends.

We're used to these sorts of governmental foul-ups in the American West. Several years ago the Federal Department of Agriculture sent a letter to their state counterparts in Arizona. They said the reason why Arizona was going through its Federal revenue-sharing funds so quickly was because Arizona had too many cattle gaurds. The feds suggested Airzona should lay off some of those guards.
When the Sands Hotel still existed on the Strip, water from the irrigation system pooled inside a crease in the concrete of the south parking lot. After some time, bugs began to grow in the water. Soon birds began showing up to feed on the bugs. The Feds then declared that parking lot to be a Federally protected wetlands. Sheldon Addison blew up the Sands and replaced it with the Venetian.
My all time favorite happened in Storey County, Nevada, east of Reno. A famous brothel, the Mustang Ranch, was seized by the IRS because Joe Conforte had evaded taxes. The IRS turned it over to the Federal Department of Agriculture to manage because it was, after all, a "ranch".

We are just human. Doctors even make mistakes, and as we all know... so do politicians. So why not environmentalists!
In my state we are trying to give the farmers more water, but by doing so we are cutting off a portion of a river that supports an endangered salmon. This case has been in court for years and years. The environmentalists are winning. The river has been restored and restocked. Now the people are suffering because the salmon is an endangered species.
Where do we draw the line in self preservation?

I have to agree with you.
When you have lived and learned for 72 years, it makes you so tired of it all.
It's hard to swallow all this crap, they keep handing out.
As for my husband and I, who are fly fishermen, we catch and release and have always caught our limit but seldom do we take them home.
On occasion, if we felt like eating our tasty mountain trout, we cooked it on site.
All these new studies are created by those who are actually creating their own jobs.
They need that Government Grant to study and study and find more things to study.
Then they have to show the results of their study in order to renew that Government Grant.
I'm in awe of all the things they keep finding to study to no avail.
If they all just wait till they have lived and learned they would be surprised how useful it can become, just having and using some good old common sense and wisdom.
I'm now home bound and can no longer fish/my favorite pastime.
I have been racking my brain, searching for a study that would merit a big fat Government Grant.
Can somebody out there please help me so I can sit on my butt and rake in the money while I study.
Hell, I don't care what it is.
JUST SEND ME THE MONEY.
I'll be more that happy to share the results of my study.

Good Grief.
Fresh water trout fishing, from my understanding, is popular and most of the fishers usually throw them back in. That is about all I know.
I enjoy salt water trout.
Me, too, the older I get, the less I know. Typical propaganda to me.

Granny: Why do you think the
"environmentalists" were
restocking the Colo. streams?
They sure don't have the money. It's the government,
just like the asker Bubble E
stated. I do believe that is either the Dept. of fish and
Game or the Dept. of Interior.
How about apologizing to
us environmentalists. We are
really trying to keep the world
livable.

regrettably fish at the instant are on occasion packed in vacuum programs so the conventional strategies of discolouration do no longer happen in case you're procuring on a similar day you want too prepare dinner it open the p.c..( a tiny volume is adequate) to ascertain if this is undesirable.despite the fact that if it rather is get money back
