I would like to know what the reasoning was for the cordell hull changes!!!!! I can see a slot limit, but the lake is absolutely full of fish in the 8" to 15" size. I average 25+ fish per trip in this category. Why only two below 17"? The lake is going to be over run by 17" to 20" fish that will never reach 23".
 
Why the 50" limit on muskellunge on Dale Hollow, but no change anywhere else? GreatFalls? Center Hill? Melton? How about a 45" statewide limit for all those rivers off the beaten path?

*Melton Hill Reservoir � Increase the muskellunge minimum length limit from 44 to 50 inches, 1 fish per day creel

One part that caught my eye was that anglers shall not possess more than 100 stoneroller minnows at a time. Back before I got into flyfishing, I used to keep a tank in my garage with a few hundred in it at any given time for smallmouth bait.

Even now I kind of like netting a bunch of stonerollers once or twice a year and fishing the creeks or lakes like Dale Hollow. You can go through a hundred pretty easily on a really good day.

Great on the increase on Melton Hill. Now let's get Rock Island's up and more importantly...get some STOCKING going.
 
Well, I see they kept those regs on Pickwick. What a bunch of goobs. Still waiting on some sound data to back those regs up. Of course, I think Alabama and Miss has been asking for it also with no results.

Hint for you TWRA guys down here..........G-R-A-S-S is all it took.
