No idea what cause the deformity. Have seen similar on both Elk Creek and the Bow. Never seen one on Stauffer and I've probably caught 5>10,000 fish on the creek. I have seen BROOKIES with gilllates missing. Nobody seemed to know why?

The stream is C&R except for the 2 summer months when the stream is very weedy. I have only encountered one guy with a single dead fish and that was 10 + years ago. I really don't know if further restrictive limits are required. Stauffer was open to kill with a limit of 5 till the massive regulation changes about 15 years ago. As the decrease on population happened after 1985 nearly 25+ years ago, I expect that further limits may do little. However, any change has to be seen as positive. I know that sitting on one's ass will mean "another one bites the dust"!
