I believe that's the right way to go.
[QUOTE=Drewski Canuck;4044531]I fished the Missouri river downstream of Holter Dam near Craig, Montana last June.
The Montana experience with whirling disease was 15 years ago, with the similar 90 % die off. What trout where remaining was resistant to whirling disease. Plain and simple.
The solution is really very realistic. Stock the infected water bodies with trout taken from the resistant stocks in Montana. The disease will run its course, and the population will rebound quickly as the resistant fish fill the gap left from the non resistant fish.

I'm not a biologist either, but it sounds more reasonable & doable.
