re: Speck Decision Already Made

Will the guides charge less since I get less meat?

It was a joke.

15/14 would give you same amount of meat as 20/12s

But you’d kill 50 more throwing back 11.5-12’s to get 15 14’s. I say no size limit.

I know that's what I'd do. 12 inch trout are barely worth keeping with how little meat you get off them, why would you want to keep smaller than that?
Not to mention getting rid of a size limit would mean even more fish being taken before they have a chance to spawn at least once, which would be even more detrimental for the fishery.

It should really only be 5/14. That’s all I can eat anyway. No use for more than that.

So because you do something one way means everyone should?

So there could be some Fist-A-Cuffs at these meetings? Brass knuckles are ready.

You can catch as many as you want. You just can’t keep more than 5. Studies have been shown that heart disease and depression increase in speckled trout communities where entire families are torn apart quickly. The 5 fish limit will ensure some semblance of a family unit is maintained in our ecosystem.

Man I’ve hauled my boat for zero fish and I can’t wait to haul it again he next time.
