Thank you for posting the interesting and informative information. “Game fish are too valuable to be caught only once.” I feel that is a great motto.
I feel that the current fishing regulations are very reasonable to anglers and very conducive to fish being able to become old and big.
I read an article by Daryl Bauer where he stated that he thought the brown trout state record in Nebraska would never be broken. I like to be optimistic and think that with the river being managed as a “wild fishery” and not a “put and take” fishery one day the state record brown trout will be broken in the Snake River.
