The problem is that there are many out there who don’t give a flying fudgesickle for anybody but themselves. You can prove it by watching wake boarders, jet skiers, and folks who roar up and fish right next to you if you’ve been seen landing a fish.
:@ I just heard a news report that a walleye has been caught at Strawberry! All that hard work and money spent creating a premiere trout fishery thrown away by one person with a bucket.
Don’t get me wrong, walleye are a great sport fish, but we already have several waters that produce large walleye in decent numbers. I hope they catch whoever did this and throw the book at them.
I know whoever did this is probably not reading this thread, but in case you are… You are not smarter than a wildlife biologist. You do not have the right to undue the hard work of the people we pay to manage these waters. You do not have the right to throw away the money we all spent to treat and stock that lake, or any other lake. You are a criminal and I hope someone has the courage to turn you in.
