I can totally see and understand this side of the coin....what about a tiered season on certain lakes?....such and such a date is all C&R.....such and such a date with a slot size that makes sense?
The biggest draw back would be getting the anglers to read, understand, and follow the regulations.....although thats no different than the way things are now.
