Who are fly fishermen to exclude ice fishermen from the same man-made reservoirs for the same Put-and-Take stocked trout?

It isnt a fly fisherman only lake. I am an ice fisherman and I get to fish Police Lake, just not during hard water.
Lots of places to fish. If you want to.
I keep very few fish in a year even though I pay for them too. A lot of years were spent fishing Walleye and did not fish for trout at all. But I still helped pay for the put and take fishery. Glad we have it. And its nice to see some quality fisheries too. But thats what sportsmen do, share the resources.
And as noted winter fishing creates additional problems. Not just bait related, because bait could be banned for winter fishing too.
