Your Show - Future of The Cache La Poudre
This is the question I posed for the show:
Hi Adam,
I caught my first trout in the Poudre when I was very young, around
1965. My photo from this was in the "Fishing and Hunting News". Since
then I've been a very avid Colorado outdoorsman that loves Colorado
and especially fishing for the jewels that swim in the waters of The
Glory of this state. Recently, you know, the state trout was changed
from the Rainbow trout (an introduced species, from California, no
less) to the more appropriate Greenback Cutthroat Trout (an indiginous
species). I'd be curious to know what the long term affect of changing
the management of the Poudre towards the indiginous state would be.
This would mean removing the bag limit on Rainbow trout while
protecting the Cutts that would have to be reintroduced (as fry
probably). Would the river sustain a wild population of Cutthroat
trout? Do you think having native fish in the river would increase its
value to the state and define conservation for the area?
Thanks,
