I can't speak for the other Regions, but here in Reg. 5 we have a limited number of lakes to spread across all the user groups (trout vs. warmwater, bait vs. fly fisher). The lakes I can think of right off that are popular for FF are Merrill Lake, Castle Lake and Coldwater. These are sometimes difficult to get into.

Then we have many local bait-put and take lakes.

A lot of our high lakes are selective gear fisheries. Do you think that opportunity should be spread to lowland lakes as well? I want to make sure I understand your post!

I am not sure of how the other Regions are managing their waters.

By the way, I appreciate your posts. They are really full of good information. I LOVE to hear this stuff from anglers because it helps give us ideas on how we can provide better opportunities for you!
