So, they got together at Lake Tahoe, and went on a boat ride, in a research boat to talk about trout that aren't in that lake?

And looked at giant goldfish while doing so:

I guess they could’ve had the conference on the Mongolian steppe, but the Holiday Inn out there didn’t have a pool.

I thought the Lake Tahoe focus was odd too, but there probably isn't a conference center at Lake Pyramid or Summit.

Hi
There are some lct in Tahoe. Artificially propagated just like the ‘Mid. Several tribs have them too and the are re establishing in others. Ca Dfw is doing a ‘ya gotta put the fish native to the basin in the basin ‘ stocking program (my work manages a different lct lake) so at least for now the Truckee tribs are getting tons of lct. They are super yummy btw.

Tahoe to Pyramid, via the Truckee River, is closed system (pyramid has no outlet) that historically was the home for LCT. The plan all along has been to re-introduce the LCT throughout the system.

So I looked up What is an Ict lake? AI went off on a tangent and rattled on about Convict Lake. No I have never heard that reference Ict before.

LCT = Lahonton Cutthroat Trout.

I used to get to fish for them occasionally in Mann Lake. They were a lot of fun.
