Chuck...No reason to be sorry about keeping trout, as long as you like to eat them...I enjoy them myself, but day in and day out I prefer some other fish, like bluegills and perch...Rather than stockpiling trout in the freezer, I prefer to keep enough for a meal to eat fresh, and then when I get hungry for trout again, it gives me an excuse to go fishing again ..As if I NEED an excuse to go fishing......

The water I fished yesterday hasspecial regulations...Last Time I checked it was a limit of three per day, minimum length 12"...

Phil...Those are some FINE brookies...Around here, any brook trout over 10" is a big one...
