Many fresh water fisheries are not man made, but I can say that all fisheries fresh or salt and man affected, most in a negative way. While I respect your opinion, amphibians, insects, reptiles and marsh flora where all expected to be killed by the draining and poisoning, so CHUB were not the only species affected. Also, rainbow trout, while not as predacious as brown trout, will and do eat fish.

It was all about money, rainbow trout brought money in. But so would other sport fish. A diverse fishery would have been much better off and easier to maintain. A little research and flexibility would have been much less detrimental to the surrounding environment. They were looking for a quick fix, and it backfired. Hopefully we can FINALLY learn from this mistake before we make more of them.
