It's even now. I believe that any trout that gains that size should be left in the hatchery ponds for folks to go and practice fishing in the off season. If caught at the hatchery, it wouldn't count as a state record, only as a trophy. Wayne

I fish fresh and salt as well as crab.Streams,rivers,ponds,lakes,bays,oceans.I buy a license so I can keep when I am going to eat it and throw back when I am not.
