Bigger Brown Limit 24"

[Trav]

You can regulate the color of socks a fisherman has to wear. If there isn't any law to enforce it, the whole idea is moot!

Thanks Dano! I was somewhat unsure of all the restrictions imposed below BSD.

I would like for everyone to go to post #65, and read all the restrictions that are in effect below BSD, and feel extremely lucky that those are not in effect below TRD." AS OF YET"!!!!!!!!!!

If you are a "wade fisherman" on lake taneycomo, this could severely impact the possibility of you ever catching another large fish in the trophy area. The area would be closed to all fishing at the time you would want to be fishing the most. It may not be the same dates as BSD, but I guarantee you that they would close it through the attempted spawning period. I'm not aware of many places outside the trophy area that are suitable for the wading fisherman.

We should feel fortunate for what we "still have" and do everything we can to preserve it. MDC is short handed. We can help by policing our own ranks to stop those who thumb their nose at our regulations.

Good fishing to all!

Murdoc,

Just wanted to say "thanks" for your time & effort. Hopefully, by the time we buy our next season pass to Taneycomo, we might know of some new changes.
