Great list, thanks for putting it together.

Sounds like it was pretty great before the concrete plug. The Colorado River there was fairly calm for people to bring their own rafts to float down, unlike the Grand Canyon. It was a special ecosystem in a beautiful canyon, and I’m not sure the man it was named after would have supported it.

I worked at Powell in fisheries and AIS as a tech. Discovered quagga mussel shells in dissected bluegill stomachs on Wayne’s order, my little contribution to the scientific world (the professor at BYU or wherever doing the isotope study will get the credit though and that’s cool, I still found them first lol).

How big of a role does fishing play in your day to day lives? Do you have a favorite fish to eat or catch for fun? Do the rivers where you are from have the dangerous crocodiles and hippos lurking below that you have to watch out for? Thank you for doing this ama, it sounds like you guys have taken this internet media and turned it into some cool stuff.

Couldn’t tell you. I just know they were collecting specimens from the lake for a stomach content isotope study at BYU a year or so after I moved away.
