I am a zoology major, who went into medicine. Oregon Field Guide has repeated a program about Spirit Lake that showed these large rainbow trout that appeared to grow extremely fast but did not live beyond a certain young age, well below what is found in the wild.

Is this still the current truth and if so, why not let these large trout be fished? Or at least why was this not part of the discussion?

I have no interest in fishing just the science of what is going on with these trout and Spirit Lake. Thanks.
