As an afterthought there are a few lakes I fish that because people keep enough fish, the fish grow better than they would normally). On the other hand there are a lot of lakes where if everyone who fished them kept 6 fish each time they fished, then the lake wouldnt have a stupendous amount of 6" brookies. Its a catch 22....some waters need constant pressure to remove the excess population...some waters are C&R so the fish are able to survive on their own without the need for restocking.
