Give the fish a year or two and everybody and their dog will be all over that lake. If I was up there I'd be out fishing while it's still calm and you can catch fish. It's like the 2 slot lakes down here nobody but locals fishing for the first 3 years and now you can't find a spot to fish with the locals.
Heck it's only one type of fish in a huge lake so what's the whinning about. [/reply]
[font "Garamond"][size 3]Hmmm, not sure who you are referring to. Whining? Since you replied to my post I just wanna let you know that I'm not whining. The slot referrence was just a theory and maybe it'll turn out to be true. I will agree with you on one point. If I was primarily a trout fisherman I would be up there a lot, especially if there is less pressure. As big as that lake is putting in or trailering a boat can be a joke over there. Over the years I have released WAY more fish (cutts) then I have kept so the slot limit doesn't really bother me at all. (It is also extremely helpful if one is not a treble-hook fisherman to be able to release fish, and by that I don't mean spinners or jerkbaits.) [
] Based on personal observation it sure did seem like people were keeping much more than their 4 fish limit. [/size][/font]
[font "Garamond"][size 3]I have much preferred keeping 'bows over cutts. Who knows maybe they'll keep some sort of slot limit at Strawberry for cutts in effect permanently, or at least for more than a few years. Would that be a bad thing? [/size][/font]
