Now, should we not expect more pressure on Put-and-Take fisheries if they are aerated, with bigger fish available earlier than the stocking truck's arrival?
Be careful what you wish for...if the ACA finds the money to spend aerating your favourite stocked reservoir, you might find yourself in a crowd with some competition for stocked trout.

Shep; I can't quite understand your position.I no myself that when the lake was stocked .Prior to it being disegnated a QSF.The lake was stocked yearly with 100,000+ ,for many years.To have the lake be returned to a put & take fishery.Would imo be a huge loss,to us fisherman.It's pretty dam obvious that,the attraction is the now large fish.In these days of cost cutting stocking 100,000 fish at approx. $100.00 a kg,so $60-70,000.Versus stocking 10,000 .The dollar savings pay for the aeration.Back when the place was aput & take fishery.The campground was rarely full.Now even the overflow is full.
