I would not have a problem with a 2 fish limit in more areas. The thing I wonder is if people would C&R more or catch their 2 fish in 30 mins and leave? I know a lot of people who will not drive a long ways for 2 fish. I also know other people who would sit and fish all day and just C&R and only keep the biggest 2. The C&R mortality rate may sky rocket and you just may end up with the same result as you have with a 6 fish limit. I am all for quality like Henry's, but then there are times you just want to get out and catch some fish to eat. I could see quite a few lakes, small reservoirs and certain parts of rivers a 2 fish limit, but at the same time I think the large reservoirs and other parts of the rivers should stay as a 6 fish limit. American Falls reservoir has some huge fish in it. The 6 fish limit does not seem to hurt it. Below the dam and above the reservoir the fish are quite large also. It may be more of a water issue than a limit issue.
