Location: Eagle River, Alaska | One studies opinion and I'm not sure how you correlate "netting" fish with actually catching the fish angling.....to my knowledge this whole study would fall apart by not being able to supply any supporting data for this basic premise. Additionally you would really have to look at what fish were stocked....there are so many strains of trout...some which are more active in shallower water and some which hang deeper....doesn't necessarily have anything to do with their foraging habits or ultimate growth potential. There have been many studies done of European brown trout where there are at least 3 different strains in the same lake, each being reproductively isolated....and all of the big browns are fish which live longer, hang deep and become purely piscivorous. By doing so their double their lifespan and get many times larger than the others in the same lake....they are commonly referred to as "ferox" trout. Way too many variables to accept their conclusion with how the experiment stated it was done. |
