Triploids are NOT an alternative to steelhead. Actually, triploids are a joke, whaaaa??? Let me explain, you have a fish that's growth is limitless and what happens? Well, a bunch of Johhny come lately Ford Fender and worm toting lake boys come in and catch them when they are a foot long. Soon the put and take lake gets "fished out" and sure, maybe a few of the triploids don't get caught and get big, but trout in lakes take a helluva lot longer to grow in relation to an ocean-fed steelie. Don't get me wrong, triploids can make for an excellent trophy fishery, but let them grow or plant 'em bigger to start with. The state needs to put money into seagoing salmonids, hatchery trout for put and take lakes, triploids inclusive, are surely not headed for ESA listings. Peace
