yeah - I just hope this improves the spawning mass and the drop is not habitat related, as is my hunch.

I don't think it's 100% habitat, maybe 95%.
Any Wahoo could catch a limit ten+ years ago on plastic, not so much today even on the eastside. There's absolutely no consistency from one day to the next anymore. We need the COE to rock the ship channel on Cal which would decrease the silt in the lake and dredging costs.

well all you idiots refuse to see the truth

they did this in big lake, the home of the largest trophy trout fishing anywhere.

the result was an immediate reduction in sizes of fish and numbers of fish. it devastated the fishery there and it has never recovered, its now just an average fishery.

just because you dont want to keep fish doesnt mean you have the right to deny others the ability to put fish in the freezer and feed their families.

you act like socialist democrats saying even though science says we dont need to reduce limits, i feel good virtue signaling by asking everyone to be penalized for no reason at all

the level of stupid is beyond the pale when its clear the reductions in fish are directly linked to fish die off from the bad freezes we had over the last 5 years. hell 2 years in a row the pelicans were dying all over the state from lack of food when the freeze killed all the marsh fish they feed on.

limits are fine as they are, but go ahead and keep begging the government to take your rights away, raise taxes, and disregard science and over regulate

Every single time this has been scientifically examined it has led to the conclusion that your hunch is correct and limits have nothing to do with it. Recreational anglers simply aren’t successful enough for it to matter. Lowering limits is popular because it makes people feel like something is being done about them not catching fish, but in reality it’s all about the habitat.

The drop is absolutely habitat related. You have the same regulations for years and only NOW the trout population takes a hit.

Marsh erosion has been known to be sending this problem our way for a long time.

Do not expect a reduced creel and size limit to make a difference. We could change the law to zero creel and the trout would not rebound to the levels they were at 12ish years ago.
