F4F,
I fish the berry for one reason BIG FISH. Since I wouldn't eat a Trout if that and Horsemeat were the last two things on the planet the regs have nothing to do with it. Strawberry is a long drive from the heart of the outdoor capital (Northern Utah counties). I think the lack of good quality fish in recent years has more to do with the lack of fishermen than the reg changes. I moved here in 95 and the berry was the place to go for big fish. Now it's just another failed attempt by the DNR. If we want big fish we have to have big fish lakes. I love the new regs, you want limits, go to Trial, Lost Creek, Rockport, ect. I would rather fish all day for one fish that really gave it's all than catch 56, 8" trout at Lost Creek. Since Utah became a put and take state it's not near as much fun. I maybe in the minorty here but I don't think so.
IFG
