I would agree with McLeod that I'd like to see the creek strictly C&R, or perhaps do as Manitoba and have a harvest of one under 16" or 18" to keep the larger breeding trout in the river.
It would be interesting to know how many bigguns get bonked out of there each year.
And until last year, I didn't notice a difference in fishing. However, last spring was by far my worst year of fishing it. Caught fish, but not the size there should have been. Stayed one evening and there were brown drakes hatching and skating across the top of the water across a long glide. Not a fish was rising to them. Seemed odd to me. Water should have been popping...
Might need to do some more exploring this year and see what other little gems are out there.
Cheers
