At the very least they should tell the public so they can get free food. Seems like a big waste to just drain a lake and let the fish die.

[@jacksonsinclair2615]

It b.s. honestly I have respect for law enforcment but I know for a fact there are some hardcore poachers killing 20 plus deer and elk a year, similiar deal with wild salmon and selling it black market, and theyve gotten away with it for years. Game wardens worry too much with the petty crap like checking licenses at the stocked trout pond during the trout derby.

[@vspec17]

Well said.

[@realhunts3266]

For a couple of years me and my buddy tried to catch this huge rainbow in our local lake. All the rainbow trout there where about 7 inches but there was a few giants. Anyways when they drained it we found one of the dead ones that weighed 15 pounds after most likely losing weight. And I still wished they wouldn’t have drained it so we might’ve have caught it

[@bassntroutfishing]

For real though. There were a few other 7 pounders that I didn’t even show on video. And who knows what was still down there. Really unfortunate.

[@robertbritt3129]

Conservationist? Those are fish we put there for game and if we didnt put them there they wouldn't be there anywhere we want fish they poor in thousands and keep millions of spawn at the fishery. Don't worry about concerving game fish that we produce by the billions in the USA and fill water artificially until we are happy with the fiahing. Bass were planted into all the manmade lakes as well....there are only natural rivers human.dams make lakes and humans fill them with game fish.

Ayrshire Rivers Trust have netted, removed and relocated thousands of trout from similar reservoirs in south west Scotland when they have been drained.

@@luster5497 the nutrients provided by the decomposing salmon feed up to many species of microbes, fish, stream invertebrates, mammals, and birds. As juvenile salmon, which dwell in the river systems for some time until they are ready for the ocean, feed on a lot of stream invertebrates (such as crayfish, worms, leeches, snails, clams, and mussels), this can be seen as yet another semelparous aspect of the salmon’s life cycle.

You need research lol Fish can feel pain, they have a very complex nervous system, although not 100% scientists are 99.9 sure that fish feel both fear and indeed pain, many many tests conclude this result and surety. We can never be 100% of what anything other than a human feels, dogs and cats and chickens etc we are all only 99.9% sure of feeling pain. The way though a fish will behave when injured suggests pain, they are less likely to avoid dangerous things even when slights injured, this is due to being preoccupied with the pain. Actually even their lips have nerve endings suggesting pain is felt when hooking. Im just saying, you dont know they do not feel pain lol
