S.T.A.R (Before & After Creel Change)

That's the point ckinchen, The biologist told the state that it really wouldn't matter for your kids an grand kids. The reduction from 25 to 15 was all just a feel good help the guides out thing.
We have had this discussion before and NO ONE has been able to produce any biological reason to limit it to 15 trout.

The lack of bilogical evidence is the part I never could get my arms around. I really do think it was more a function of people trying to protect the estuary than just being lazzy but your right it could harm it more than help it.

I guess I missed where anyone was calling the guides lazy.....

No your right nobody actually said that, I was paraphrasing. I wasn't trying to bash you either, just presenting the other side. Without biological evidence to support the reduction I tend to agree with you guys. I probably disagree from the standpoint that I think the guides (if they were really a part of the change) and the CCA all had good intentions and thought they were doing the right thing. I would find it hard to believe that either would intentionally harm the estuary. People with the best intentions sometimes make mistakes.
