My point being, there are a ton of places to take kids fishing besides the K lakes (which are still going to be great for kids fishing!) But out of both of these stocking lists, there are only a handful of fisheries that are attempting to achieve a "quality" status. And only a couple have C&R regs and both of those are barely puddles.
Why the resistance to what seems to be such a common sense positive change to a fishery?
Cheers.
