To stock or not to stock a wild trout stream. That is the question.

No but it's a fact that there is no legitimate, requisite, imperative
for pure C&R. This has been amply demonstrated time and time again.

I don't know about "legitimate, requisite, imperative for pure C&R",
but I do know that C&R has been a Good Thing in some instances. And I
also know that changing the mindset towards more C&R versus C&K has had
a good effect in general.

Ah, but that's what it's all about, Tim. You offer nothing except
your fanatical devotion to your agenda, which is little more than trying
to foist off your own guilt onto others.

I have offered many, many suggestions here and over the years. One of
my personal favorites remains the booklet an angler would receive every
year with a coupon to fish a given water on a given day with some
trading of coupons and 'open water' areas available for people who like
to fish in a group.

Your pal and trendsetter in fisheries management.


Never one to deny credit where it is due, I have to say that this one is no
more deranged than your (and jon's) latest offering of justification by
definition, the great thing about which is that we can thus justify
ANYTHING. The down side, of course, is that they can thus justify ANYTHING.

Dumbass.

Hey Wolfman,

How long do people wait to get a Moose hunting permit in Colorado?
How about Antelope?
Deer?
Elk?
Why shouldn't there be a similar lottery when hunting for threatened
species of fish, the Greenback, for example?
Wouldn't that be a more justified management approach than wanton C&R
of a fish that was declared extinct for 5 generations?

Your pal,

It is impossible to catch and release a wild trout.

Hey Wolfman,

I've never had to wait for one.

How about Antelope?

Nope.

Deer?

Nope.

Elk?

Nope.

species of fish, the Greenback, for example?

I just did a brief check online. I can find no reference to anything called
a "Greenback" in the "To Stock or not to stock" article from the Bennington
Banner, nor in anything else about the Batten Kill. There are none in any
of the waters I've fished here in the Upper Great Lakes Region, nor those
I've sampled in North Carolina or Pennsylvania, and I have unearthed no
evidence that there ever have been. Looks to like like it's just one more
item to add to the staggering list of your ****ing problems.

of a fish that was declared extinct for 5 generations?

You have my permission to manage extinct fish in any way you see fit.

Tim?

No.

If you do not intend on killing any fish for food, you probably
shouldn't be fishing at all.

Didn't say I didn't do it. In fact, the phrase "guilt replaced the
creel is my personal demon".

And your whole point of posting here is to try to inflict your personal
guilt on others. :-) Good luck with that.

Interesting. Is it possible this is why some hunt for the trophy or
fish for the pure catch and release of it?

Huh? People hunt for the trophy to inflict their guilt on others?

Even coming from you that doesn't make sense.
