Back when in '84 Utah Lake had tons and tons of white bass.
The flooded lake helped the whities procreate rapidly.
I once caught 500, no exageration, from a canal near the now
defunct Geneva Steel. But the thing was, I gave all the fish I
caught to the folks from southeast Asia.
I had no idea back then it was illegal!
But I agree partly with that law, whats the point of going fishing
and giving your fish to someone else?
Back then it was only white bass, I would never do that with trout.
Anywaws, nowadays I only keep what Im going to eat.
I dont ever ever do any catch-and-release fishing! None!
I would rather just leave the fish alone.
Why? Because in some places the fish are caught, like in the
San Juan River of Colorado and you can see the hook marks where
other fishermen had caught them before, why not just leave the
trout of the San Juan alone?
Strawberry, you'll never see me there, why? Because the Cutthroats
need a chance at growing large enough to eat the Chubs.
Too many folks fish at Strawberry. Me I like to go where you can
catch and keep. But I only keep what Im going to eat, I dont like
stuffing the freezer.
Yes conservation is an issue, needless to say, Republicans and
Democrats dont give a ^%$ about the environment.
I know I should not post political statements here but hey,
lets not get carried away with Strawberry and kill all of the
Cutthroats just because the mighty DWR says we can keep
a few fish between 15 and 22 inches.
Too many people fish Strawberry period! Its not worth it for
me to fish there.
