I want to chime in on this but I am swamped right now. I see CCA is already being blamed for not supporting decreased limits when the science says that stocks are healthy. figures.

I may have time later..


I'm blaming CCA for putting a bounty on our breeder size trout as a way to generate revenue. I would also like to see them offer programs to educate anglers on how our population of sport fish can be protected. I get it, you're a CCA supporter but sometimes it's hard to see the forest through the trees.

I never said CCA should support a limit change, only that they should educate people on treating our big fish with care.

LOL... you seriously think this is the issue (there isn't an issue at all) with the trout population? A few dozen "breeder" trout that get weighed for the STAR tournament?

Trout reach sexual maturity by 12-14" length - approximately 2 years old. They then spawn multiple times each summer until their death, usually around age 5-6. Fish that are kept and weighed for the STAR Tournament are likely much older than 5 years and have already spawned at least a dozen times.
