Funny little pig fish. A big male I got didnt have nearly the snout as that fish did. Caught 2km apart on the Bow.
I am a scientist, but often I have the same data as you, referred to as "traditional knowledge".
It's posts like Sundancer's where he presents qualitative data, as opposed to quanitative which are often of more value than a scientist's work.
SD has identified a potential concern, whereas science is not actively monitoring the issue, and likely only acts in a reactive manner.
"OMG the fish are gone, better take some samples/measurements/surveys"

"Hey, where'd all the Bull Trout go?"

I agree...quantitative data would be great...however when in the early years...mountain whitefish were much maligned...research if any centered around their negative effects on trout.
It is a very topical discussion
