re: Trout regulations back to square one

Lower harvest percentage should theoretically result in more fish reaching larger size. Fish avoiding being culled and thus continue growth and lifespan. More breeding females. More eggs that will hatch.

I understand your theory, but every time I hear someone talk about management of their bass pond, they talk about how if you don't harvest then all you will have is small skinny bass. I know that doesnt necessarily translate 100% to trout in an open environment, but the logic is obviously contradictory to your statement above.
