I was just sent this petition that was started to petition the PAFBC to establish a slot size limit for browns on Erie and tribs. I'm usually a "keep the government out of most things" type of person but I also recognize the need for regulations when absolutely necessary.
Is this one of those times?
Here is the premise for the petition from Dave Trapold Jr. who describes himself as "campaign leader."
"I'm trying to get interest in gaining support for a slot size limit for PA Lake Erie Brown Trout so that this will help keep our numbers of Brown trout up and not let them decline over time. Too many trophy class Brown Trout are being taken from the waters of Lake Erie and the tributaries of Lake Erie in PA. By doing a slot size limit this would allow anglers now and future generations to have the opportunity to catch Trophy class Brown Trout.
HOW THIS WILL HELP
By having this slot size limit this would allow anglers of today and future generation to have the opportunity to catch trophy class Brown Trout in Lake Erie and Lake Erie Tributaries and by releasing the trout that fall into the slot size limit this would achieve the goal with the possibilities of better returns of spawning brown trout and the possibilities of Brown Trout numbers to grow."
