Trout Management Changes?

Why does this guy keep digging up old threads?

Because he's interested in their content?

A good conservation board runs on content...

...as opposed to say, nit-picking at individuals.

Well goodness gracious, is every old thread I ever started gonna get brought back from the dead? I don't mind, it's just kind of funny to see these old topics coming back after so long.

This was two years ago. I don't even have the same beliefs on this particular issue that I had then...That is to say that I still believe essentially the same thing, that the better trout streams with high quality habitat should be managed to allow the fish grow to trophy size. But when I think about it now the idea of banning treble hooks and restricting to barbless only just seems too much like an attempt to push a certain kind of angler off the water. I don't spin fish for trout anymore, but I certainly don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Most likely because he's new. It does act as a reminder that fishing reports never go away.

Yeah, I've re-read several of my old posts and thought, "Geez, did I really say that?"

Just a thought, but it is possible the poster was only trying to prevent a duplicate thread on the same topic so he/she made a post to an older thread.

I too find myself cringing at times when I read old post's and thinking..."man did I actually say that." I have decided I am really a much nicer guy in person.

Sorry jim if i have offended you, I realize they are old threads, but just adding my two cent's worth on more recent observations.
