This is supposed to be one of our fun passions not one that pisses everyone off.
One of my passions is trout fishing. Apparently one that others are seeing fit to potentially allow for less than half a year. Perhaps we should all sit idly by and let every regulation put forth, no matter how debateable, pass with no input or debate? First trout, then closed spawning for bass....and so on. When the only fish you can catch year round in CT become pumpkinseeds and bullheads, don't come crying here please.
FWIW, I'm with Capt Alewife on the depth comment on Twin. What 90ft hole? In fact how the trout there aren't even holding at 60ft in the summer. They set up in the thermocline as does the bait, not on the bottom.
On the proposed regs.Those on CTF are ahead of the curve on this. I wounder how the general fisherman is going to be informed of this? I know there are many that would like to have input. On most changes to hunting and fishing reg. the info does not get to a lot of people. The more input the DEP gets on this the better they can try to accommodate concerns while implementing the changes necessary.
For bass mycept??? interesting idea...the Northeast Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies has its annual conference April 23-26 and according to teh 4 contributed abstracts for the session on that exact subject it can be substantiated.

I'd be interested to see the data because the issues for black bass spawning impacts are on a bed to bed basis. There hasn't been much of anything that shows the impacts on an entire lake level. I'm not saying it can't have an impact, but it's an expensive undertaking and people aren't willing to pay for it. This has been looked at in the south before.
It's a moot point imo because you really can't show that it has any impacts, your list of assumptions would be very large.
We should get back to the trout reg, and not hijack the thread.
I think weed eradication programs do far more harm to bass populations than fishing during the spawn could ever do. Unfortunenately these programs are gaining in popularity among local property owners and lake associations.
