Metal- 
   Although I tend to agree that the one fish limit has had positive impact in regard to return rates of Steel, would have to wonder why that would have any negative affect on size of the now older returning fish.
  They are after all now older and unless there is a biological reason that they no longer grow I just cant buy it without more info. Thats why the baitfish numbers came up in my post the other day - more of a question than any  kind of statement.
  Unless a variety of Steel that only grows to a certain size is now around I just dont see why they cant keep growing to their full potential without some outside influence. Especially if they are now coming back older in greater numbers. Unless the recent upsurge has yet to age to the point of a lot of very mature fish.
  Silly fishes
   Hey are there more Browns now too with that same limit having been placed on them. I see a lot of guys getting lots of Browns lately and more talk bout them too. Saw a guy land a HUGE brown last year- looked like a shark- I mean it was HUGE.
   Unfortunately NOT on any of my hooks though. If there was one chub and a hundred browns I'd get the chub.

Hey guys, It's friday and I had a ball buster week. Just got time to shower and take a seat..
Had high hopes of opening day bass with a friend but i bailed for an upcoming tough weekend ahead.. But it's all for the bright future and pland outdoor activities to come.. ( pics )..

So... I gotta say DB is right .. Lets get the Positive goin' .. (edit) > Yea I'm a troublemaker (lol) But Im chill like fine wine these days.. I'm not getting Older just wiser (LOL)

Things that make a great world class fishery to me....

Lets see.. well .. If Im going fishing its the fish right ?
Lako Ontario does produce WORLD CLASS Fish.. Just look in the Record Books.. IGF.. I do believe ,, and I may be wrong.. It's Fran. V.. Most NYS records are from there as well...
Plus There is some GIANTS ( you see the pictures) of most ALL Species that swim that lake at least all the Trout-salmon I know of , well maybe not laker or brookie
So I would say the fishery is pretty darn good and thats what keeps me going.

Vote for me... World Class +1

Now the whole shebang..
Generally I like solitude when fishing.. To me being in a surrounding of nature is world class.. I like hanging out fishing with friends, meeting new people and watching others fish.. Thats all there on the tario tribs.. What is missing many times to me is courtesy.
It's a big river (sr) with lots of big fish , lots of pp .. Again I like sharing and watching others,,, ya know courtesy.. Fish a place awhile then chill or move.. I move a lot .. Of course if it "n Fire" where your fishing one may want to stay right there for a time.. I have done it.. What I most always do however is check out others if ppl are around.. If I see someone really trying or has no clue I "take a break" offer advice, offer them to fish here for a while... There is nothing better then seeing happy faces..
After a fish is hooked I always "take a break" Dont just make another cast not even checking your gear.. See it all the time though...
Food for thought..

I'll call that part (edit) -1 Courtesy is out numbered..

Garbage..
It's sickning..
Absolutly DSR is way better.. but Man oh Man.. it's bad.. What makes world class to me is the surroundings of the water shed.

I hate picking up others intentional trash.. No need for that crap but at least many good folks do carry lots of others junk out .. Sadly out numbered though..
Only thing I can say is politely offer a small bag to anyone you see littering and thell them that you would like a world class fishery.. I'm sure they think it is..
Garbage -1

Ethics..
Places I fish that are popular and see many anglers almost 99 percent proper good fishing ethics and practices..
Obvously we are Humans.. we can only absorb through learning .. I do stupid things.. But I try not to do what I know is detremental to the fishery.. I Learn new things every time I step into the outdoors.. I learn new thing from folks here & internet, I learn new thing.. So Learning seems to be the key ??
Many people have learned how to "fish" the tribs for migrating trout.. Still many have not..
We can always offer to help others in places like this or on the water. It may be a struggling angler or misguided one..
Ethics -1 ( that we can change)

Well coming up on bed time for me..
I'll be back...
