Cool - good save. I just brought it up because my bro and I got 'busted' once by a park ranger. My brother loved his fish tanks and one of the coolest fish to keep are trout. We fished the BFB one day and after fishing , my brother netted around a small spring that feeds it and caught a few 1.5-2" brook trout. He threw them in his bucket(along with some dace and madtoms) and we went back to the car. Well waiting for us was a park ranger who asked to see whats in the bucket. He saw the trout and said we have to release them. My brother argued that he wasn't killing them just keeping them in his tank to raise and then release back in the stream when they got bigger. Ranger said doesn't matter -let 'em go. So now the funny part comes: my brother walks over to the bridge that spans the flat brook, reaches into his bucket and throws the 3 brook trout he had into the river. The ranger upon seeing this, was satisfied, wished us a good day and left. My brother then walked back towards me rather hurriedly and says 'lets get outta here.' I asked why and he showed me the bucket: the trout were still in there - he threw back the dace!
Thats my bro - cool under fire and smart
