My final post on this issue to the baiters whom I have incised.

I go out of my way to provoke your ire for several reasons.
1. You EARN little respect from me. You seem to think respect is a right.
It's not a right,it is earned by doing the right things.
Police your own, the sportsmen among you see the violations that have
been mentioned and do nothing The F&G Dept can't do it all. In some cases
the landowners of good fishing lakes and ponds are so sick of the pigs among
you they have closed off their waters.

2. Give way to more of our waters converting over to Quality fisheries. Support this
and enjoy it by learning to flyfish or single lure barbless lure fish and release
your catch correctly. You will never have quality fishing for your efforts to
progress to unless you do. I see too many of you complaining about small
fish. Do you not understand that you will never have a 15" fish to catch if
you jerk them out at 9" and eat them all.

3. Do not assume as one poster did that the F&G Dept. only function is to plant
a new batch of trout just for you to jerk out and eat and the world will come to an end if you don't
get em all this year, so F&G will have to plant a new batch next year. Learn
what conservation really is. I swear some of you must think it's saving your
hooks from rusting so you can use them over next time.
Part of it is the economics of running a meat program as F&G prioritizes their
efforts on currently. It's a loosing battle of diminishing returns.

Wish I could say it's been a good debate, but I can't.


Weather is improving......Etsssss fish!
