But more new fish CAN swim up river into your "pond" if there is bait?

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

As stated, your biggest factor is the over populated lake, not enough bait to produce the previous trophy trout, which I'm sure could be traced back to the weirs. Sure your running and gunning has some effect I'm sure, but not enough to hurt it that much. It's all a chain reaction almost.

I sent some emails from question some guys wanted answered...hope they will be an answered on monday

Well, yeah...if you dig a pond 17 miles long and 4 miles wide.

Just like Big Lake.

So we know 1 fact still

There was Zero facts to change it from 25-15

"yes" but no way in hell u can tell me the same amount. Used to on the east side of the lake your main launches were devils elbow Herbert's or prien
Never do I recall while growing we having a hard time getting parking at Herbert's or devils elbow. Now u have calc point filled to the brim along with xtra parking lot filled at heberts and prien is and will always be a mixed boaters launch. Even Spicers and the launches on the west side have grown in traffic along with the growth of home/camp boat slips.

It's like the other day when I was catching good 3-5lb trout every other cast and this jimmy comes up behind me when I'm fighting a fish to bring to the scales and on her second dive to the back of the boat she breaks me off on my motor. So as I begin to retie he's watching this and trolls wide open up to the exact spot I was in 20-25 yds away from me (wind had blown me off) and power poles down! I was like WTH? Not a single fish hit My bait nor his
Pressure does effect the bite
Specially when your running right over the damn hole

And over populate

We caught 60 trout last Sunday with 25 Jimmy in and out all day...and all on topwater...so pressure did not affect us

Thought this was a big trout issue and not numbers

Regardless pressure does not cause near the damage that overpopulation does.

It is but I'm ruling out pressure

So why do you cry about potlickers and pilgrims and do figure 8s.

Bottom line is....we don't have the over all size adv like we had in 2002-2007

Because none cut me off and I enjoyed watching people watch us catch fish...while they threw there tackle box......

So why can't you act like this which is way more mature and sportsman like when they do kill your bite or cut "your drift" off.

The facts are that the fishery is and never was in need of a 10 fish reduction in creel. I was at the meeting and the only ones wanting the reduction was idiots and persons in the loop with the people that could shove this down our throats. The peolpe that study and work the lake, the biologists were ignored. And your refrence to duck limits are based on population of breeding birds. They got what they wanted but facts are facts, it has NOT HELPED THE LAKE PRODUCE TROPHY TROUT!!!!. SO tell me why do we need the 15 fish limit? So you can feel good 'bout saving a fishery that doesn't need to saved....y'all can say what you want. It was never about what the lake needed, on the contary it was what the people with the money wanted to happen.

Bingo. Bingo.

Thank you for stepping up....this is what we need more of...people like u
