FG and RL,
All good point about the regs. I always read the regs for both Idaho and Utah since I fish both. I try to be as familiar as possible before fishing either state.
I just felt like I was being accused of doing something wrong. If the "word of warning" is coming from a local on the board like BrianID or FG or several others that I have some sort of "internet history" with than it is taken just as that.. "a word of warning" and I say "thanks for the heads up but no probs here". But coming from "guest" it comes across a little different. I know tybugs has had to post as guest a few time lately so if it was him, sorry.
I know HL is an amazing fishery and needs to be taken care of and respected and not abused. I fish it two times during the year usually get skunked (read some of my old posts). So I don't feel bad about harvesting usually less than 5 fish a year out of it.
I don't have any problem with catch and release. I fish Strawberry 95% of my fishing trips and maybe bring home less than 10 fish a year to eat. But when we are on vacation in IP we like a good fish dinner or breakfast.[
