Maybe if SRD picked the right sized fish to keep, natural spawning could offset the number of fish taken out of the lake. Enforcement would be a key issue as it's allot easier to poach a fish a little smaller/bigger than the slot than it is for the tag system.
I'd definitely chose a slot size over something targeting big spawning fish but I don't know if it'd be a better option over the tag system.

Might be a little different if there were more lakes and more options, then a slot size might be the ideal thing.
