Here is a story you all will find interesting.  How Utah has managed the Provo River as a Blue Ribbon Fisheries.

Here is a link to a story about the River: Blue Ribbon Fisheries

After my service time (4 years active) I went to collage and obtained a Masters degree in Forestry from UNH but never really worked as a forester other then to process data from other foresters using a program to calculate volume of standing timber. From there I became a self taught programmer in FORTRAN and have worked as a programmer for a manufacturing company then got into tech support now working as a test engineer for a small company that does contract work for Hewlett Packard. Lee's Fishing Page has grown from a simple site hosted by my internet provider to being hosted now by TotalChoiceHosting and being built with Geeklog and its many plugins. LFP is now on glFusion and I believe will be for the rest of time. I hope everyone likes the site and will contribute to it.

I herd from Lera (Igor's wife who works at Elbrys) that Igor thinks that Electroshocking is harmful to the fish.  I found this article on the web that substantiates this thought.

Lee I have seen this done on the waters in my area , I did not notice if these fish were harmed in any way. I looked at the fish in the holding tanks and they looked fine. I'm not saying after the fished were released a few might not have made it. The same is true after landing a fish with a fly. I have seen some fish respond well and swim away unharmed but others no mater how well you treated the fish they just rolled over and died,  I think there might be some truth to the article when they bring up water temps and time of year to do these survey's  you would hope the fish and game would have the commom sense to know this already.  i would hope while they were doing these surveys they would remove the trash fish along the way.  Just my 2 cents on the subject.
