I have mixed feelings on this.
I am all for guys fishing, but with the ethics that many of todays anglers have disturb me. I in some ways welcome this. Guys following a stock truck to catch 5 trout in 5 minutes and leave in my opinion is a waste of a great resource. All of the litter i am seeing along the streams, causing increases in posted land. All too many of these streams may be nearly fished out after the first few months only to have the precious fish get thrown in the woods a few weeks before the upcoming season. Each trout cost around 3 dollars to get to their typ adult size. What a waste of money.
These increased posted ground are often times saved by issuing special regulation areas to eliminate bait containers and hook packages. This in turn causes more turmoil umungst bait fisherman and fly fisherman.
I am just tired of a lot of the garbarge going on by the anglers of today. I carry garbage bags with me to clean up after slobs.
I am not 100% for special regulation areas but the fact that the guys that fight for them to be open to any fishing at all, go in and clean up the stream and gain back the land owners trust is admirable, but then these guys get attacked for setting up special regulations to keep out a lot of the litter and other nonsense.
Any more this side of fishing is annoying to me anymore. I am in no way an elitist. I love to fish with bait fisherman and flyfisherman and spin fisherman, whatever you fish with. Fishing is fishing to me. I just hate all of the unethical slobs out there that give trout fishing a bad name. I think we need increased fines for littering and make it a harder pushed issue.
