Brian,
Thanks for the reply. It does make sense that the lakes are less fertile for trout than those in the Rockies, the same is true with rivers. It bums me out that they might have to discontinue the stocking in the north cascades, there aren’t many places around the west side of the state to trout fish as it is. It is really going back on the agreement made before the land was added to the Park Service. I wrote both senators…hopefully the bill from congress will pass in the Senate as well. Guess we’ll see in a few weeks.
