I'm 100% a fan of an additional 3 week C&R season but100% opposed to it because of what you state above. I voted NO. People are scumbags and won't follow it so it's easier to patrol if it's 100% no vs. giving folks the benefit of the doubt and trusting them to do the right thing. Hell people bragged on here and other social media outlets about how cool they were keeping trout early and how dumb the rule following others were.
If they really want to do something take out the closure period (and opening day) start stocking in mid-March every two weeks until mid-May. No worries about patrolling the Opening Day circus or a C&R season. No closures to interfere with fishing for other species. Plenty of states have no closed season.
