Actually.... the stock assessment that was completed last year by LWF stated the opposite.



"most of the data through 2013" How about some new data from the LaWLF that isn't based on research from 2 years ago (of which included a fishing ban in 2010 and limited recreational fishing in 2011).

From the NOLA Article:

Although most of the information Blanchet presented did not include 2014, one slide did. It showed gill-net harvest by the state's biologists for April through September every year dating back to 1986. The data had been crunched to a rating of 1.0 being indicative of a typical year. In both 2013 and 2014, most of the catches were at or above 1.0. In fact, the harvest in the 1-inch-mesh gill nets in 2013 was the highest ever.

I'm lost on what the argument is. The BP spill is to blame but the trout population has gotten worse since the 2013 info due to the BP spill?

This thread isn't going anywhere.

terminal years in stock assessments are always highly variable.
