Bigtoad, Did you actually watch this video and understand it? Because I did and the sign with "Must Release All Trout" really stood out to me at the 16:40 mark.
I decided to visit the website at
http://www.flippr.ca/mainpage.htm and I learned allot about the program. First of all, you'll find this in the top right corner on the homepage: "Welcome to the FLIPPR Web - World Class Trout Fishery in Manitoba's Parkland". 'Nuff said.
Then I clicked on "The Lakes" to check what the regs were for the lakes that they were fishing in:

Persse Lake
Persse Lake will be fully developed during 2010. Currently it has a road, parking lot, launch area and hydro right of way. An aerator building is on site and equipment ready for installation after ice out 2010. It will be stocked with rainbow and/or brown trout in 2010.
It will have special trophy regulations, 1 fish allowed under 18 inches(45cm). All fish over 18 inches (45cm) must be released to maintain a stock of huge trout indefinitely.
Remember to pack your camera!
Twin Lakes
Regulations:
Artificial Lures only
Electric Motors only
All Trout Must be Released
I might not be the sharpest pencil in the box but it sounds to me like one lake is a no catch and
the other promotes releasing larger spawning sized fish and keeping one smaller eating sized one. Jeez, what a novel concept! Now where have I heard that point before?
So this is what you envision happening with Upper and Lower Kannanaskis Lakes!!!!
Put a zero fish limit on one lake and on the other lake, instead of releasing the +20" spawning sized trout like FLIPPR, make the regs read so that those are the only size that you can keep!!!!
Like I said several times earlier, you guys down south can F'up your fishery all that you want but don't start bringing that sh*t north of Red Deer.
