I spend a lot more time in the the pursuit if trout then most & greatly enjoy the pursuit of trophy trout.
An offshore trip on my boat would cost me over $600 in fuel , so I'm not concerned if the dam trout stamp was. $100, I'd buy one .
What concerns me is this dumping of many trophy trout in marginal waters , they would probably be better off stocking average to medium size trout in these waters if license sales to these folks are their main concen
More fish would certainly allow for more fish being csught period.
I feel prime waters should get the lions share of trophy trout, I'm fishing now & fish all season whenever I'm not offshore, most of these folks will not fish until opening day, them maybe a few times there after .
U bet UR A I'm squawking & will contuine to do so! Just for the record I caught hundreds of trout last season but only two over. 5#'s! 60+ days !!

That's what I'm getting at. I'm not in financial hard ship, and I've had a great year catching trout, plenty far from the rear end of a stocking truck... Trust me. We're just voicing our opinions which is what a message board is for, to shoot the shit on, to whine, and to be happy over catching kick ass fish. We just feel there would be more kick ass fish if the weren't dumped into death ponds lol. And in years of trout fishing I never caught a brook trout! Is it so bad I wished they stocked them now to up my chances? I don't really see that as whining
