Did the rmw rely as heavy on the Bull trout spawn? You see grizzley bears who are so full that they catch a salmon and rip its guts open if its a male salmon its sea gull food. If they catch a female salmon they eat only the eggs. Were bully eggs a ingrediant that played a key factor in rmw numbers?
We have a wierd tme period when bulls were near gone....rmw should of flourished....my simple mind says they needed each other.

So the crazy catch limits threw it out of balance? How long till it self corrects? Can it? Were those shore to shore days of rmw the norm of how it was supposed to be? Did we just assume there were too many rmw's? Do you know anyone who caught stringers of Bull Trout? Serious question.
