This past sunday i headed up to jackson lake to get some trout fishing in. upon arriving the ranger showed up as well . next to me were 3 asian men with carp poles landing rainbow trout left & right. So the ranger got around to asking them for their licenses and none of them had them. while the ranger walked back to her car to get her clipboard the guys quickly scrambled to dump some of their fish in plastic bags and try & "hide" them. they must of atleast stuffed 20+ decent sized rainbow trout in a plastic bag. they had soo many fish they even started randomly throwing fish into the weeds by the water.
the ranger came back and started to go through their car. well she found another plastic bag full of fish!. atleast another 20 good size trout. I and fellow anglers watched in disbelief as the ranger counted out all the fish. she counted approx 45+ fish. i bet that fine was hefty for the 3 guys. I would always wonder why the fish would get fished out a week or so after stocking. I might of found the answer, i have never been so happy to see someone get a ticket from the ranger but i had no remorse for these men. . anyways the trout action is still looking good with the best bites in the evening on PB.
