I posted this because I read the post about maybe a bunch of us getting together and fishing and one spot came up was Rattlesnake lake and one person said to the effects that those "Bait soakers and Chuckers" would just blend in the poachers.
If we had this meeting at any lake with selective gear rules the ones that do not ever fish with lures and flies probably will not show up and if the do most probably want to learn how to use lures and flies succesfully.
And as to using my kid as an excuse is total BS because she may never want to fish other than to be with me dear ole daddy and its her way of being in my life.
When she is older say 5-6 and wants to learn to fly fish or use artifiacals I will teach her, but I will be damned if I am going to force her into doing something she does not like.
And as for the "bait" lakes fish there is one with a limited number of native fish and was that way for many years according to old timers and the other never had fish at all matter of one lake I used to fish dried up every year until the built a earthen dam and used it for irrigation( I am from North Central Washington which is all but a desert).
And yes I do understand about planting trout in lakes just for people to eat that have great numbers of native fish in them and thus making the natives stressed. In those lakes I agree do not plant fish.
