And even more so if you are bass fishing and could care less about the nine inch trout they stock.
Exactly.
All lakes should remain open Year Round for everyone to enjoy. Simply institute a zero possession/ 100% catch and release policy for all trout until the opening day.
Why restrict recreational use for fisherman that don't even care about the put and take trout fishery?
That will never happen Mike. I think trout should be stocked in fish ponds for kids only and in the streams for everyone. To shut lakes down to all fishing because trout are stocked just suxs. I think the state should stock smallies in those lakes instead.

Continue the stocking and do away with the "opening day". They should not publish when and where the fish are stocked. Just do it randomly. Just think how much those bass like to chow down on the small stockies.

agree 100% .
I hate the fact the state makes it so easy for the stocking truck chasers and poacherts to know exactly when,where,how many and what size have been put in. This info should be kept under wraps away from the public for the sake of the fishery.
Mitch can you find my post on abolishing opening day and merge it here please.
