eeek, not pot stirring!!! So was it a Quality rmw fishery when they'd school for miles on end or now while they are less abundant but larger? There's a common thread on the whole big fish create stronger plentiful offspring, not sure if I'm seeing this. Is Quality big numbers but squat in size or big in size and squat in numbers? I'm repeating myself. Does anyone care if they vanish? The maggot use is to help cull whitefish that compete with trout according to the regs, so in my best guesstimate rockies are still viewed as a threat. Maybe the terminology such as Compete should be changed to uhm,,, co-exist, co-habitate. Or we could rename them Rocky Mountain Wonderfish.
