I think you have great suggestions and you bet I am passing those on to my boss.

I am just not familiar enough with the lakes you describe in your area and my usual disclaimer is, I can only speak for our Region.

Our Jumbos are rainbows that are 3 and 4 year olds that we are done spawning. So there expensive is necessary as they are what we use to spawn the new generation of catchables. I am not sure about other Region's.

Been asking about the garbage thing. I put in another post that here we have one access guy for the whole Region. I am sure our others are in the same boat, so we do rely on a volunteer effort to help us out with the Adopt an Access Site. The key thing will always be to better educate anglers and other user groups at the access sites we own.

Have you thought about compiling all of your concerns and sending them into your local fish bio? That is what I would recommend. I wouldn't want to be the only one taking advantage of your thoughts and suggestions.
