This lake I fished has a lot of little fish in them and if every fish was released there the forage wouldn't be able to keep up with the growth curve, therefore, imo& biologist, agree that keeping fish from lakes that tend to have "a lot" of browns will actually help the growth curve. Carl Marx(biologist) up in Central Oregon says the same thing about Paulina lake. There are days there that you can catch 50 fish in a day, and the same with this lake. He advises to keep a limit of fish every time. Now if there were browns in the Delta or other enormous waters I say release all. I am a firm believer in CPR and I release over 400 browns a year but again in certain lakes it is good to keep a fish to eat every now and then.
