That same guide has been quoted as saying that a 15 trout limit was the best thing to ever happen to Big Lake.

But I agree with you, that you have to correctly manage the population.

I love the 15 trout limit myself!! Don't get me wrong!! I have been fishing Big Lake for 25 years and I find you have GOOD years and Bad Years!!! The one thing I dont like on our lake is the Weirs!!! They should let it flow like mother nature wanted it to!!! Put rock to keep erosion down but dont manage the water flow!!!! Im just a fisherman what do I know!!!
