I should clarify myself a little better...I really don't have anything against trout. Only trout I ever kill or keep goes on the wall...I love to catch them..Pelletheads taste like crap to me...
I guess I am more against that opening day madness and only putting fish in the creeks to sell liscences to the bucket brigade....Thank God they only fish 1-2 weeks and then move on to something else when the fish are gone from the holes by the road..
Trout season should be open all year around...It is mostly a put and take fishery anyway.
Wild reproducing schools of fish would have special regs...Mabee more fall stockings..
I would rather catch 1 hold over trout than a dozen pelletheads fresh out of the bucket...
Would get my nut to see them back up to Pymy, Shenango, Canadohta and some of the inland lakes with a truck load of eyes the same number and size of trout that would be on that same truck headed for a creek they can't even survive in ..
