Tracy, I admit the cost/benefit of RBT stocking isn't as clearly good as it is for TP or even TFS. RBT won't reproduce and they die in the spring.

But there is a big plus in terms of winter forage for LMB and HSB at a time when TP are gone. If RBT take to feed vigorously, as I hope, when CNBG activity dies down, then the feed will continue growing forage for LMB during cold months. At least, that's my hope. And maybe sluggish RBT in April/May, due to warm water, will reduce LMB pressure on CNBG and TP then.

RBT are pricey, though. Will report on results when I get them!
