Oh did I mention the mysis shrimp are also non-native introductions...ahhhhh natural. Yup we're gettin' close.

If we could do that it would be great, unfortunately it would be extremely difficult to establish a fishery where cutts were protected and the rainbows weren't. The simple reason for this is that a very high number of fishermen cannot tell the difference between the two, so it would be hard to control.
