Minnesota DNR grades its trout streams as "Good," "Fair" and "Poor."

Refreshingly simple. Fly Fishing Only waters are bad enough. Having
a favorite river officially rated as "Trophy Trout," "Gold Medal," or
"Blue Ribbon" would make my heart sink.

Oh, then, you must LOVE the "Private - Keep your ass out!" signs...
but heck my favorite waters in CO (at least what the brochures say my
favorites are, anyway) aren't likely to be designated anything. I think
if folks quit worrying about catching the largest fish possible with the
latest gear possible, all while wearing the silliest, most expensive
**** possible, they'd have more fun...as always, YMMV.
