If you want to enter the draw go ahead that is your choice, I just can't be bothered.

Still don't understand how you draw a tag you don't want. If you don't want a tag don't apply seems pretty simple.

Number of tags are usually reduced each year unless the waterbody has been resampled. As this only happens every 5 years or more the numbers keep decreasing until there is budget to resample. Conservative approach to ensure the harvest is impacting the resource. Made sense as it was explained by the bios.

There will be no undersubscribed tags for Newell as there were unsuccessful applicants including myself and several others I know.

Was shutout for Newell class A & C. Probably a lot more applications in recent years.

3 of us for Long Lake, A, B and C, nothing, P0 for B and C, P1 for A class.
Odds suck there, low # of tags, strange because fishing is good.
