Stock it. Wild trout stream my ass. How can anyone call it 'wild' is
beyond me. If you're a conservationist and 'really' care about the
'wildness' of the place you'd be pretty hypocritical not to recognize
the denizens of that river to be descendent from other stockings. If
you're a conservationist you'd be supporting one action and one action
only: Rotenone the whole thing, close it to fishing, fix the habitat
problems and restock it with indiginous brook trout. Anything else is
just bull**** so go ahead and stock it. Might as well.

It is impossible to catch and release wild trout.

Dumbass.

Wild trout stream my ass.


Hm.....

Well, a wild river might be AS BIG as your ass.......but I suspect that
most people familiar with the former wouldn't have much trouble
distinguishing between the it and the latter......in good light,
anyway.

How can anyone call it 'wild' is
beyond me.


Well, sure, but what isn't?

If you're a conservationist and 'really' care about the
'wildness' of the place you'd be pretty hypocritical not to recognize
the denizens of that river to be descendent from other stockings.


You really don't have any idea of what language is for, do you?

If
you're a conservationist you'd be supporting one action and one action
only: Rotenone the whole thing,


See, that's what we like about you.....most people, left to their own
devices, would probably never figure out that sterilization is
synonymous with conservation.

close it to fishing,


Yeah, you could do that, but with nothing living in it, what would be
the point?

fix the habitat problems


Um.....like installing a handy dandy off the shelf highly evolved
11,000 year old ecosystem? Don't buy it from Wal-Mart......I hear they
suck.

and restock it with indiginous brook trout.


Hee, hee, hee.

Anything else is just bull****


Ah.....at last.....a topic the reader might reasonably suspect you know
a great deal about. Why don't you go ahead and run with that?

so go ahead and stock it. Might as well.


Dumbass.

Idiot.

who can't help but marvel at the twisted abortion that passes for the
logic behind restocking indigenous trout in a dead habitat.

If it's a dead habitat than who gives a rip about a few stockers?
