RE: I copied this from the Fishing Reports page 2011/09/09 12:27:26 (permalink)
I'm just curious to know how people know that there are freezer-burned fish in other people's freezers? Do people actually inspect the contents of the freezers of others when visiting at a friend's house? Is it customary to do this during commercial breaks during a game or during a critical 4th down and 1 play?

Those stupid trout don't even reproduce in the wild. They are all stocked.

Here's my two cents. I think they should lower the limit to
2 1/2 fish. That way there would be more to reproduce. Then we could have a thread about which 1/2 is the best to keep. I'm thinking the front half tastes better, plus it's easier to rope. On the other hand, the back half would have more eggs.

I beg to differ Glen, I've always been partial to the bottom half!

I never even realized that it was legal to keep fishing with your limit on a stringer until now.  I think after a limit is kept then you should be done fishing for the day.  How can anyone predict the future and know that they are not going to kill another fish by accident.  What a stupid rule, why would the PFBC even allow that? 

Also, you guys that think fishermen keeping fish is the cause of the lower returns the last couple years are crazy!  When a big run happens these fish usually flood into the streams by the thousands in huge schools all at once.  If keeping fish was really the cause, then you would hear about a big run that came in and has all of a sudden vanished from the streams.  The problem is that a mother load run hasn't come in over the last two years.  So it's not due to people keeping to many fish!

That being said, I've found plenty of fish over the last two years on each of my Erie trips.  I've caught more Steelhead per day than is possible almost anywhere else.  I really don't see what the problem is.  If these lower numbers of Steelhead than in the past keep some people away, then I hope we never see a mother load run again.

Many people do not realize this, simply because they have never fished for steelhead anywhere else in the world or have not taken the time to research steelhead fishing elsewhere. We have have insanely stupid numbers of steelhead returns in PA compared to anywhere else in the world due to immense stocking. Its quite simple, but so many people seem to have such a hard time understanding this and it baffles me really)Take those blinders off people). Also, they are not only un-natural in numbers, but also in genetics. As Nuke said, clearly a munfactured fishery stocked with oversized pelletheads.

I admit, I sure do have fun catching them though

HI guys, i just wanna say that i think a lot of these steelhead can reproduce naturally in erie tribs. I mean, one time i saw some gravel on Walnut. Whatdya think, Cold?

Report: If you can purchase a 50 dollar fishing license you do not need to be keeping fish. We all pay to have those fished stocked so we all can enjoy fishing them. Stick to the fish that do not need to be stocked to put in your freezer, then allow them to get freezer burnt and eventually throw them out because you ate mcdonalds fish sandwiches that night. The major problem is 15 people being on a charter on the lake then hanging them on a fence after a day of fishing and taking pictures of the fish dead on a chain link fence acting as if they were cool. The tribs were horrid last year compared to years in the past, use common sense, catch and release and enjoy your day.

Thats just hillarious right there

Like all the "identified" students/children we hove runnin' around out there in the world...I also think we need to start identifying these fishermen. That last guy would be identified CWGOAD - Clueless to What Goes On Around Him Disorder! The First guy has JPDD - Just Plain Dumb Disorder.

You want more fish, bigger fish, then practice C&R......The Douglaston Salmon Run has gone to C&R for all trout species this year....Now that is a progressive attitude that will pay dividends.

As long as that trout does not run up to the town pool and get caught again, that should work.

not so, bro
some  1 inch steelie fry were seined out of a hole one summer from  an Erie Pa trib
I "know" this, cause i helped on that project.

There's surely "some" natural repro going on.
The majority of it happens in the no trespassing sections , I reckon .
It's surely not enough to sustain the monster that's become Pa steelie fishing ...but it happens


..l.T.A.

Natural reproduction by unatural fish in a system (Oximoron)....NOTHING natural about it! I don't care how much of it takes place, theres NOT enough to sustain any sort of steelhead sport fishery without stocking. No "natural" mutt breeding has ever taken place before man ever dumped them into the great lakes system in the first place.

"i do think that swapping a fish off a stringer is wrong and should be illegal"

Culling fish IS illegal, with the excepetion of organized Bass tournaments.
That said, in over 20 years on the tribs ( 3-5 days a week at one time ) I have not ONCE, EVER witnessed anyone cull fish. I really doubt it's a major issue.






I saw folks culling fish on 4 mile years ago. Of course, that was back in the days when 4 mile had actual runs. Several even had 3
on a stringer and took one off, so they were in possession of 4 fish also, until they released the culled fish. I mentioned this to a couple guys who were doing this, and was ignored and sworn at, so I gave up saying anything. Same thing with littering. Easier to pick up the slobs' trash than confront them.

And you probably walked through the gravel. With the number of yahoos fishing these days, I doubt there could be more than .1 % natural reproduction, and these would come from private water, or tribs of tribs. Too bad the steelhead aren't fin clipped, and prizes awarded for pics of naturally reproduced fish.
