what do you think about Texas Law

[Duck Butter]

there was ZERO science behind dropping the limit on Big Lake from 25 to 15 in the first place. Some Texans post some pics of a bunch of sow trout and people got the red azz and complained. Nothing good comes out of lowering the limit on trout. These fish spawn prolifically and grow VERY fast. Texas does not have near the estuaries that 'we' have over in Louisiana though, so maybe there was some actual science behind that decision.

Your 100% right.... I have stood behind this ! I do like the lower limits but its not necessary

Also..if texas wants to increase there trout population they need to drop the size limit from 15inch to 12inchs.... At a longer length you take more females out than males...you need to keep a same number ratio.... Male trout grow slower and females have already spawned by 12inch long! You can only hold what your estuary allows... You can stop trout fishing in texas for 5 years and you will not see a big change in numbers...once a trout has out grow the estuary or over populated it... They move !!! Texas is hurting more than helping!
