      Would there by a specific contact person at the NCNP who could/would confirm this?

      Would the non-reproducing fish stocking require additional permission from the NCNP NPS? Seems like the now “best case” scenario is that the NPS lets volunteers collect some sterile fingerlings, lug them a long ways into a remote lake every few years, and this lake will go from a healthy non-stunted cutthroat population that it had for a century(?) to some kinda smaller cyclical volunteer-dependent population of triploids?

      Am I missing something in that description?

        I fished minotaur yesterday (from a raft – overcast day with slight ripple and smoke haze) and only caught 5 fish in 5 hours. Nothing over 11″.

        It didn’t seem like a “typical” alpine small-fish lake with tons of very hungry fish. There were many refusals of my flies and I tried my whole box.

        It makes sense that it has been 5+ years since a stocking, and this summer’s stocking didn’t happen.
