I would like to see the state go to a policy of making lakes with a self sustaining population of trout strictly single barbless hook, no bait. In the past 10 years I've seen numerous (good to great) trout lakes diminish in quality and quantity of fish from over harvesting. There are to many folks out, and I'm sorry but most of them are bait fishing, keeping everything they catch. Whats worse is the throwing back of the small ones so they can try to gaff something bigger. I think it's what you have been calling "grading". They then complain about the size of the fish. Hey, you can't kill all the 10 inchers and expect to come back next year and catch 15 inchers. People, if you can't recognize how fragile a particular lake or pond might be, then you shouldn't be fishing it. The only way future generations can enjoy the kind of fishing we do is by our efforts to provide it. There are plenty of put and take lakes that can provide a great day's fishing for those who feel the need to keep and eat. However, those special lakes that nature can keep going on their own should be cared for by all fisherman.
