How prevalent are brook trout in the Clack? I wonder if the powers that be have given any thought to dealing with the bull x brook hybrids.
That isn't anything they'd really have to worry about, Bull Trout are in the Char family, not the trout family.
Yeah trying to bulls back were there are brookies would slow things down a bit on a population growth because of the steril offspring possibility.
That might actually be a good way of getting rid of the brookies.
And a waste of tax dollars since the bulls wouldn't reproduce.
It's not like some Bull Trout is gonna come along and actively search out Brook Trout to mate with. Nature does a pretty good job on her own of making sure that hybrids are limited. For example I would imagine that the type of water that they breed in is different or the time of year they breed is different. Just like Cuttbows, they happen but aren't really very common, especially when you consider how much habitat they share.
