We have the biosystem to support the 12" 25 limit without hurting the fishery.

NICE 1st post.
I was there too. Its funny thats how you remember it.......Biologists wanted to go to 10 or fewer!!! CCA said that was too big of a reduction and it wouldn't make anyone happy. FACT: Trout SPR limits were below and are still below the thresh-hold set by our very own LDWF.....meaning a declining stock.
W. You've fished long enough to know the big fish come in cycles. Look at this Year! You conveinently left that out. Several 8's on the board and numerous 9 & 10 lb trout caught by others.
