Good point. I know they must be fun to catch but its like raising a 9 pound LMB in a farm pond and releasing him into a pond or small lake, harder to find Im sure but still not natural. I am sure there are arguments both ways. I have never really been a fan of the put and take trout/salmon program. Just my .02


yeah as I get older I feel the same way, if only theyd stock more walleye and maybe musky in place of the trout.. then we'd have a real fishery
