I wonder why it hasn't been cleaned out like the streams that allowed fish to be kept. Open it to two fish limit, give it three years and you will be lucky to catch three fish a day and the biggest one will be 10" long. With the fishing pressure it sees today I doubt it would take that long.

Fly theory,
There is some population evidence on the lower Ram says the Bull population is stable or increasing.
As far as I am aware there there never has been any population runs on the Clearwater or N. Sask.
The closures are based on a guess or ignored evidence.

And the greatest evidence of how Anglers have been screwed over is Falls Creek. Angler's got banned, logging continued, OHV activity barely curtained.
Falls is the primary spawning stream for Bulls on the N. Sask.

On good days we used to catch our limits on the mid Ram right up until it's closure. I believe the limit back then was 4 over 12". You couldn't rely on catching much in the first few holes beside access points though.

I do approve of a two fish limit of over 14". Maybe even one over !4", and one over 16" would be cool.

Ironic in what way? You mean closing entire river systems in order to repopulate a few holes next to the road?

OK.....nevermind....smh.
