The suckers are the reason why the Bull Trout are as big as they are for sure. A prime food source.
In mountain rivers...mountain sucker young are targetted by bulls, cutts, rainbows and browns...and likely larger mountain whitefish.
Another way to address the statement " No good for the Sport Fishery. " is in a natural system... mother nature created them for a reason and they are integrated into the ecology of the stream or lake and the life cycle of the predators. Playing God in a natural ecosystem makes no sense...without having a biologist speak to it.
