the reason they lowwered the limit was to many bait plunking folks were keeping five fish a day,day after day after day. one guy they caught fishing in that area was returning to the boat launch with his limit then driving down river to pick up the rest of his days catch (apparently he did this for years). it took the warden quite a bit of work to figure it all out. eventually they took his right to have a fishing licence away. that was one of many stories i heard about such things when i lived there.
