This would have to be applied to very specific flowing waters were there has been enough research to ensure it can sustain. There is already a pretty liberal brook trout limit/bounty in many es1 streams. It most have been effective as brook have become rare in these waters.
In the bow? No way!! As a catch and release river there is a crazy amount of anglers on the water add in those who would start to keep fish and bow would be decemated in 2 years. I fish the bow in the city limits often and tons of people walking by comment they won't fish the bow because they can't keep fish. I personally know many anglers that I would not trust on the bow with a 1 fish limit. They would keep 1 if they caught 1 but would keep more if they thought they wouldn't be caught or go out in a group and keep 1 per person. I live close enough to good water I could easly catch and keep 1 every day. Never mind what makes the bow special (at least for me as a mostly spinner shore fisherman) is the quality not the quantity of fish in the river. I know I might not catch many but have a good shot at a 20incher every time out.
