I am not sure we are agreeing or not agreeing. I strongly believe that "+20lb RBT or BT"
are trophies. All I said is a 20
inch (as in inches long...not lbs) is NOT a trophy. Just a nice size trout to catch versus a 12 inch trout.
There seems to be a vocal group on this thread that is trying to equate letting the trout grow 2 extra years before harvest as a trophy fishery. After 2 years...thereafter we would see a yearly group of rainbows reaching 20 inches.
I would say rainbows over 10 lbs would start being called trophies...stocked or otherwise. That would put them at 28 - 34 inches long here I suspect and that is not what is proposed.
Are we in agreement or...please explain your point further. We can share notes...
Thanks a bunch
