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.

Smitty ..Agree with you.Taking pressure of off Beaver & like fisheries.Is key to QSF lakes.So adding this lake would be ,beneficial.It appears the ,one thing apparent.That people like to catch,larger fish & take 1 home.Having a retention of 1 over 50 cm,like most of the QSF are .Would better off set the costs of stocking tidlers,only to have them harvested in mere months.Stocking costs keep escalating,yet the cost of licence fees remain stagnant.Last i heard it costs $75-100.00 for a kg of fish.So reduceing that cost.Will help with,the operating costs of aeration.Which inturn will possibly allow for ,fish growth etc.Muir,beaver & now Dolberg are prime examples .Of a suggessivefull fishery
