So now I'm "entitled." That's funny all I did was make an observation. I've fished plenty of streams where catching a hundred + small fish in a day was no big deal. The thing those streams all had in common was, removing fish didn't hurt the population. One of those streams was in New Mexico and the limit for brown trout was 32, And they were all stunted. It ain't rocket science.


Got it. Fish are an infinite resource and you know better than the wildlife biologists that spend half their lives studying those streams...


No, that's not what I said. But I think you know that.


Not trying to be an azzhole, but this is a real pet peeve of mine. I’ve spent a lot of time assisting biologists with stream restoration projects, Populations counts, restocking with an eye towards natural reproduction, etc. only to have some jack hole who thinks game laws only apply to other guys, clean out a stream with nothing more than a can of worms and pack of eagle claws. They’ll snag, net and even shoot at spawning brook trout because they really do think they’re and infinite resource. They’re not.
