Trout in decline?

[Gman]

well, we were able to get sportsman status on trout and redfish, so the nettters are gone. The limits have been cut back and the slot is in force. So there should be plenty of fish. How many guides are on the lake on a given day? Do we have any assessment numbers to go by? Is CCA monitoring the trout stock? How many fish is just one guide boat taking per week while most of us are at work? I think there's something amiss. I don't even hear the quote "You should have been here yesterday" any more! I believe our Trout are in trouble and no one seems to care.

I know there were not obvious signs of a fish kill this winter during hard freeze but maybe a lot of trout did die and sank to bottom. The fishing this year has dramatically declined.
