[quote sinergy]Just out of curiosity and im not bagging on you, your allowed keep what ever fish but if the largest fish was 12.5 inches why not release small fish ???

When you have a lake like this that is full of stunted brook trout, the best thing for the fishery would be to harvest more fish. Putting them back will NOT allow them to grow larger -- just the opposite. Too many fish = smaller fish. Harvest more fish, and increase the average size of all.
What is the current limit for brook trout at Lake Catherine?
