Speaking of Hendrickson's, will you be fishing the park when they hit?
Maybe we can get together.

Scott,

I tied some Hendrickson patterns over the past week. Got trout on the
brain! We'll watch the streams. I'll let you know when the hatch
begins. That would be fun to get together.

I have one question: Do you find the no'kill regs in the park doing
anything for the average size of fish there?

Pete


If anything, the fish last season seemed a little smaller, but I think it
might be because they are way overstocking downstream and upstream. They
are reassessing the rules of thumb they use to stock, and they might
eventually put in less fish.

The Region 8 biologist, presented alot of streamside interview data last
month. They seem more focussed with how well the two 12" fish limit is
keeping the two year old stockies in the stocked section than how well
the park is fishing. Catch rates have always been lower in the park

Harvest in the part hasn't really been a big factor for at least a
decade, I think. The no-kill thing seems almost more of a political
statement than a management practice.

BTW, our banquet is next weekend. Carl has tickets, if you want them, or
you can pick em up at www.sethgreentu.org (raffle tickets too!!). I can
promise a good feed!
