It may be. That was more directed at everyone saying the people who want more restrictions don’t have any evidence to support that idea.
The problem is that it is nearly impossible to definitively tell what condition the trout are currently in and what impact rec anglers have on the stock.
The side against the recs flippantly dismisses or cherry picks all research showing a decline and the side supporting the recs think the ldwf is infallible. Neither is right. You have to just piece together information as best you can and come to your own conclusions.
Personal biases also come into play here. It’s hard for me to entirely trust guides knowing how much they think they stand to lose with new recs. They think their anecdotal evidence is the final say without realizing how much ego and personal preservation comes into play.
That’s why I personally trust the opinion of guys like Angelo’s Apeitos and Greg Stunz. These guys stand to gain nothing either way and think we would benefit from tighter restrictions.
