Sorry for the possible redundancy. I think I may have e-mailed this to
walketim and I wanted to post it here. I am new to posting on newsgroups but

I think there is more to the question and answer than first seems apparent.
Some of the C&R streams are too small with a very limted population, to
sustain any catch and keep regulation. The argument could be made to not
fish that body of water at all, but I believe that in many cases, if there
are no folks fishing it, there are fewer folks protecting it from
development or effects of potential industrial pollution. I would say that
in at least some instances, trade-off's are necessary. I believe some
countries and possibly states have gone the way you have suggested, on at
least some bodies of water.
I believe that if we stop using a resource and start looking at it, we will
lose it. I know this topic could be argued and discussed forever without
resolution.

Hi All,

If the regulations wherever you lived were changed such that you had to
kill fish within a slot, but quit fishing when you had a limit, how
would this affect your fishing? Would you continue to fish and would
you support a regulation like this? Do you think the quality of
fishing, interms of quality fish caught as well as quality of the
experience (people astream) would go up or down?

Thanks,

It is impossible to catch and release a wild trout.
