This was another thing that I talked to the officer about.
He assured me that the blue ribbon (artificial only) section of the Weber (and throughout the state) has far less trash than other fishing areas. He also said that there are far fewer violations among the folks that fish these areas.
In my experience, folks that fish these areas legally tend to be more conscious of the health of the trout as well. When releasing trout, I get a better feeling from those carrying fly rods and artificials. We want that trout to be there next time we visit, hopefully larger.
I fish many areas, but I prefer the areas that are clean, virtually trash-free, fewer people, and seemingly more and larger fish. Anyone can use these areas. It is not limited to a select group of people. Anyone can purchase spinners, flies, jigs, etc.
