protected from fishing pressure . Guist Creek's 12 inch size limit and 6 creel limit has taken its toll on the trophy fish population.
The fact is Guist Creek has a lot more pressure than a lot of lakes with a size limit. There are more probably more tournaments on
Guist Creek per year than boat launches on Lake Shelby in a year. I have fished Guist Creek for a lot of years. I think it is time
for the FWS and the Shelbyville Industrial Foundation to get up to date with the rest of the lake requirements .

Just because a lake gets hammered with tournaments doesn't make it a top ten lake to fish. I would put Guist 125th on my list...I live less than 20 minutes away from there and would rather drive 45 minutes to the Ohio River and fish. If I knew where that one guy with bass in his bath tub lived, I would go there before Guist. I agree with you that the slot sizes and such aren't doing that lake any favors, but it's still not a top 10 lake to fish in my opinion.
