15 Trout Limit Discussion PUBLIC

[Evans]

Was this change maybe done cause of that pic with all those big fish on the bottom of that boat. If so I think they should have just changed the limit to just 2 over 25" still 25 total

That was part of it...but they were never going to get that law passed by 2 over 25inch...so they had to use the 15 trout limit for an agenda...

They took data from estuary that were in bad shape and not even a tenth of the fishery big lake is and used that as FACTS FOR THE FUTURE

The two over 25 inchs was like the healthcare bill...slip in a little something extra that really has no meaning or proof..just a little something to make a few people fell good

Well the two things I think that is hurting the big fish being caught now is the pressure and the limit and nothing is gonna make the pressure go down so I would like to see what would happen if the limit went back!

Here is one thing about pressue....


I fished last Saturday 45 trout...Suday 60 Trout and Monday (holiday) 45 trout all before 11am...

I fish most of the time on weekdays and still catch trout so presure does not play a factor to me..You can still catch trout...

Now I know lots of people did not catch these days for what ever reason but I watch a lot of people fish....
Most come run up throw 30mins and leave.....When I sit and catch my trout in one spot all day...

SO I rule out pressure as a main fact because in Jan Feb and March you have no Pressure ....and In August you have the most and that's when I catch more big trout than any other month...

I have found this..I catch more trout on places that I usually just catch one or two trout....Some of the popular trout spots are putting out more numbers than big trout...

I fished one spot on the north east bank this year and caught the most trout I ever caught on that bank.....

How many of those fish were over 5lbs? Im just saying. I think the pressure of boats on the lake now a days affects the BIGGER trout more
