The removal of the in-season trout closure on BR is interesting. Any reason(s) for that? Doesn't affect me one way or the other but it is a popular spot. I always thought those closures were useless anyways since most freshly stocked trout won't be caught right away anyways. Takes a few hours or even days to get their sh*t together.

Good to see lures being allowed @ KLG and BFB. I'm sure some ff are disappointed.

All seems pretty reasonable to me

I like one of those a lot. And I hate one of those a lot.

I like the spruce run bait regulation being upped, but I wish they would let you use a cast net.

FYI, TU pushed for the changes with the understanding that it would also become a no-kill section

Every organizaion has its good and bad points. You just have to hope that the good outweighs the bad....and that each organizaion is looking out for its constituents and more importantly, the resource.

Quite correct there. One note to 'Buzzbaiter', the KLG has allowed lures since becoming a TCA, the only change proposed there is going from a 1 fish @ 15" bag to strictly C & R.

I know I've been there once in the last 32 years. Don't like crowds and there is ALWAYS anglers there. Beautiful spot but when you're limited to about 100 yds of river because 30 other anglers are there, doesn't make for a fun time. The one day I went I got lucky - it was raining and rain tends to keep anglers home especially the ff guys. Anyhoo, started at the lower boundary and worked up to the trestle. Only saw 3 anglers. Tossed a spinner around and picked up lots of trout with about 1/3 wild browns, a few native brookies and the rest stockies/holdovers up to 18". I came, I conquered so no reason to go back

My understanding is that TU does support lure usage @ both streams so I'll remove my negative comment. Still want them to stop calling though
