While I do release 99% of my fish, upper k was one of the few lakes I liked to keep a couple trout a year. This lake has sure had some huge changes over the years, rainbows with bait allowed, rainbows/bulls/cutties no bait allowed, and now cutties/bulls no bait allowed and basically no retention. I understand for a rainbow trout fishery having a minimum size of 20" because that is not really a huge fish. However I don't really understand the 20" size for cutties, 20" is a huge cutthroat and I wouldn't want to keep one that big. I guess they are more or less turning this into a C & R lake??? Would it not of made more sense to make minimum size smaller (16"?) for cutthroat since they do not grow as a big as rainbows?
