Texas fisher limits show need for shorter creels and longer lengths
A Texas Game Fish and Oyster Commission biologist reports on Northwest Texas lakes where open season fishing quickly depleted stocks. A first lake opened June 1 with no spawning fish, two weeks later few were caught. a second lake had similar results. A privately stocked lake kept closed until October and after halving creel limits and expanding size limits, produced abundant large fish for two and a half months. The report urges broader protection and stock surveys.
