Change "some" lakes to "most" lakes will be...
I honestly can't remember the percentage that SRD had given at the last round table meeting I attended a few years back, it was either 10% or 20% (Mr Anderson?) of all stocked lakes in the province will be targeted as quality lakes. Unfortunately, very few of those will be existing put and take trout lakes. There are so many lakes that only produce small trout and don't see much usage that could be turned into decent fisheries (like Chickakoo). When I was a young lad I used to catch 5lb brookies out of that lake on a regular basis and today you're lucky to see a trout get to 15 inches due to yearly winterkill. What an aerator alone could do for Chickakoo. There are just to many of these trout fisheries around, especially near major centers.

I think the point Sun was trying to make is in response to kids having fun fishing for little fish. The kids may have just as much fun catching bigger fish and almost as many with different techniques and set-ups.

There are days on the lake I get my butt kicked but not once do I think that its someone else's fault.

Or, maybe folks are just getting tired of catching a bazillion tiddlers all day? I know I get tired of it quick.
