Gene,

I think you missed my point, which had nothing to do with conservation.

Best regards,

The question is not whether trout fishing with worms is more difficult,
but
whether it is more desirable from a standpoint of conservation. A fish
caught on a worm is much more likely to suffer mortal injury and thus not
to
be caught again. I agree with Lee Wolf, that a trout is too valuable a
resource to be caught only once. There are lots of good tasting fish that
are much more abundant and would not suffer from being taken by sport
fishermen. I am not a fly snob, I trout fished with worms until about
1965,
but it's just not good for the fish or the fishing.
