Maybe the sushi restaurants around the lake should start serving some of the more edible invasives.

Some of you don't seem to realize the importance of protecting Lake Tahoe... as the LARGEST and CLEANEST source of water for thousands of miles... the largest lake in the Sierra... and uphill of major cities and agricultural areas... like the Central Valley, you know, the area that supplies the country with the majority of fruits and vegetables. It ain't just a fishing spot... it is one of the most important natural resources in the west.

Golden trout ever been introduced to L Tahoe? Fun to catch. Like a little gold bar that swims.

Tahoe doesn't drain into the central valley last I checked.
And the Owens Valley doesn't drain into the LA basin. Nor does the Feather.

Pretty big goldfish.
from http://www.kcra.com/news/-/11797728/18991232/-/u25jv2/-/index.html
Researchers are finding a growing number of giant goldfish in Lake Tahoe and they are questioning the ecological impact they could have on the lake
Christine Ngai of the University of Nevada, Reno, was among the researchers who found the first goldfish during a survey of invasive fish in the lake.

All bureaucracies eventually become self-serving and next-to-useless, no matter
their lofty initial goals and mandates.

When will Obama release the photos of his "giant gold-fishing" trip? Why is he using chemtrails to create these biological abominations?

I get a kick out of people telling me which way Lake Tahoe water flows... lolz for sure. As if natural drainage networks mean anything for future water distribution in CA. But can any of you tell me which way the money flows? Hint, lots of federal land being sold to private developers down around Vegas. Lots of money from those sales being pumped into scientific research to keep Tahoe blue. I'm sure when Vegas gets desperate for water they will make us an offer we can't refuse... and if there was any connection to Vegas.
I'm glad TRPA exists. I can't imagine what a shithole this place would have become if development went unchecked since its formation in 1969. I wonder what the cultural and political scene around the Lake was like back then.
Until the end of civilization... cheers!

OMG, you are so insightful. I never realized I was part of the problem. My oh my, what ever will I do now?
The only logical solution seems to be stop studying the natural processes of the place, revert back to that groundbreaking used tire based restoration standards of the 70s, and let the Bay area folks just enjoy their weekend vacation spots in peace.
I'm so glad you people figured out everything that needed to be figured out decades ago. If only the dumb scientists would have just taken your word for it.
As soon as I learn Spanish I will move down to Carson. Thanks Ron.
(Yes, TRPA is a pain in the ass. So are taxes, stop signs, and all those other pesky rools we have to live by. It just isn't fair! I'd rather have a lake full of algae and motor oil than have to deal with their crap!)

Ron, man the fuk up and email that cute little researcher. Ask HER why they are making the claims they are making. Maybe the news will interview you in a piece that exposes the cover up... Goldfish Gate. You can tell them how you know everything about everything from timber management to aquatic ecology and you learned it all using your species identifying fish finder.
Or... you can just sit there and act like you already know everything and everyone else is a dipsh#t... it works for me.
The KEYS has always been a special fishing spot.
No it hasn't. It didn't even exit until the 60s. Half a century is nowhere near ALWAYS.
Invasive fish, such as the goldfish, are gathered and removed from the water. Ngai said the program will look to filet invasive fish and donate them to local food banks.

Did Ngai claim she "discovered" anything? Or did the news? Are you passing judgement on a researcher you have never met based on her research you will never read? Then applying that to every other researcher out there? Sounds kinda hedgey to me.
Face it, if you knew half the sh#t you claim to know you would be making a positive contribution to the world. Instead you are stuffing dead things and blaming all the worlds problems on whatever source you disagree with.
A group of researchers from Davis, the University of Nevada at Reno, and the fish and wildlife departments of both California and Nevada were the first to study the presence of goldfish in Lake Tahoe, beginning an annual survey in 2006.
They knew they were there before the study, otherwise they would not have developed a study to look at the impacts. Do you already know what impacts they have on the native fish, algae, water quality, etc? If so, contact her... I'm sure she could find some money in her budget for useful information.
