I don't really care who approved it.
The triploid program sucks.

Can anyone name a lake where they've been planted and actually grown to the size they are supposedly able to reach?
I'm not taking Rocky Ford pond monkeys or Rufus Woods fish.
They planted them in Dry Falls and they were a complete flop.

Most are harvested right after they are planted....see the fiasco that happens every year at Beaver lake when they announce they are going to plant them.
The state doesn't need to provide welfare payments to a private hatchery just for jumbo trout. They can do that themselves with diploids.
Look at some of the past stocking reports. How much does it cost to staff a truck to drive to a lake to plant 10 of the stupid things?

Note to WDFW....there were big carryover trout in our lakes long before triploids became the in thing.
