if it swims and looks like a trout you must kill it......has to be atleast 15 inches......nothing less......and they wouldnt stock anything over 10.....he would make sure the male to female ratio was absoluetly perfect in the hatcherys.....catch and release is out of the question.....just not allowed to do such a thing that might give fish a chance to make it and maybe reproduce.....that makes too much sense........and within a few years troutfishing as we used to know it would be gone......they would quit stocking saying theres more then enough trout out there to catch.......
