I'd guess that trout unlimited had a hand in that, they want every lake and stream in the west to be a blue ribbon trout fishery, rather catch perch and walleye myself.

I think the Game and Fish is hearing that message. They even address it in the article and state the reasoning for the kill
Of being that it’s the headwaters of the north platte. Perch in the ecosystem would throw things off. Out of empathy, I get that, even though in my own small brain, adding some perch into the water doesn’t seem like it would matter much. Obviously it does and creates headaches pertaining to their “management plan”. So again I get it. I’d love some warm water species in this corner of the state, but it’s just not happening without a complete shift in thinking.

Keep up the message to the G&F that we need something more to fish for than "TROUT"!!

Agreed and everyone I fish with would say the same also.
FYI- they killed off Muddy Guard #2 this fall also. They're going to re-stock it next spring with.... trout.

If you guys don't like this wait till you see what they are going to do for all the drainages around Cody over the next few years. Kill off everything and stock with only native Yellowstone cutthroat trout!
