I once talked to a guy who told me he caught 50 trout that day. He told me he didn't keep a single one though. He said he gave them all away!
I do most of my fishing on those FiNS lakes, and you're absolutely right. The utter disregard for creel limits or the need for trout stamps is astounding! I've been fishing those lakes for around six years, probably fished a hundred or so days there total, and have been checked exactly once, at Miles Park.

I have no problem with the proposed changes, but I wonder if a slot limit might be a better idea on those lakes? As small as they are, I'd rather see someone take home a 12 1/2" male than some 5-6 lb. female they caught. I don't know, I'm not a biologist...
