Truthfully, the 5 fish limit will affect me less than a handful of times over a 5 year period. I don't have any data, blut I would guess this is true for over 90% of most coastal fishermen. If the goal of this regulation is to truly protect the fish population, then it should ilnclude some additional restrictions on guides and their clients. A guide talented enough to make a living (and their client base) does more to reduce the trout population in a month than I will do in two or ore years. I love guides, have a couple of friends that are ex-guides, but facts are facts. Guides catch more fish. I am pretty sure that a 5 fish limit will enable multi-trip days during the peak months.
