This week Phil Bloom (columnist in The Journal Gazette) wrote an interesting article voicing opinions about Indiana's new trout rules.
It seems that Indiana has proposed a rule that would only allow catch-and-release, fly fishing for trout on three stretches totaling 2.8 miles in Elkhart County. The Natural Resources Commission will vote on this ruling Tuesday. You can read more about the proposed fishing regulations by clicking here.
Naturally, some folks support this proposed ruling, while others don't. Folks in favor of catch-and-release believe fishing quality would improve if everybody followed this practice. While others like to feed their families with their trout catches.
Rulings like this tend to affect us. Once they "win" a case, conservation groups often move into other areas to propose the same ruling somewhere else.
What do you think?
