Now we got people from all over the country coming over here to catch our dinks.
There are big fish caught all over the state. Just we got the designation of a "Trophy Lake", the rest of the state doesn't.
It helps the guide business only. Not much else.
Before the change, there were 3 or 4 guide businesses, now there are many.
In my opinion, the fishermen who are suckers for the "Trophy Lake" thing are just that, suckers. They come here to catch 15 Trout, instead of 25 Trout at other La. fisheries.
If I were paying, I'd rather catch 25.

Every fresh or salt lake in louisiana designated a "trophy " lake has been ruined by "someone" LDWF nor the PCPJ will admit to releasing non triploid carp into false river . But they are there by the hundreds of thousands. Not a blade of grass anywhere there. LDWF Won't admit that killing the grass in caney lake ruined it .
To many folks have a say in what goes on w/ both the fresh and salt water fisheries in La. The state pays Good money to hire fisheries biologist and then ignores them when it comes to fisheries questions.
When you let the people that live and work on a body of water tell you how to manage it's fish ,it will never amount to anything.
