At least put the wee trout back when you catch them for the kids to catch at a later date, keeping a 4" trout, give me a break. Yes, it will be fished out in a couple of weeks as usual. Sorry for the rant but this issue is frustrating. Go ahead and blast me if you want but I'm just being honest here.

I would much rather see "meat fisherman" take fish out of DeWitts than the Elbow or Bow Rivers. Yes, the fishing pressure on DeWitts has been intense. Despite that, it does not get fished out. And the stocking rate has been increased this year from 2000 fish to 3000 fish. Finding a parking space is more difficult than catching a fish. BTW, 4" trout are delicious.
