I don't know of anyone advocating total, 100% C&R. You're right, that would not make sense. And nothing wrong with harvesting one, trophy fish. It's a stocked lake, not a wild and/or native fishery...
Too expensive to aerate to have people keep the 5 fish. Smh.
And clearly, with the
number of anglers and the pounding QSF's like Muir and Beaver get, why wouldn't you spread the pressure and the traffic out?
When you look at stocking report, it becomes pretty clear, pretty quick on just how many lakes and ponds have the 5 fish per day opportunities. It's not there is a lack of choice in that department.
