I agree if they are spending the money on aerating and trying to rehabilitate a former proven trout fishery then it would only make sense to me to protect the trout to a decent size. I don't agree with 100 percent catch and release because of mortality. If you got a gut hooked 10 incher then you should take it home and eat it rather than let it stink the lake up. 5 trout any size in a lake that close to edmonton will just be fished out to the point it's a waste of time. One under 12 inch and one over 22 or something would work maybe. They are sterile anyways and get smart from the pressure so it would retain a few hogs one would think. Just my 2 cents.
