Here's a new twist on an old problem. Yesterday, while fishing a local tailwater which has in effect catch and release regs in effect (you can keep one hatchery fish, but is hasn't been planted in decades) I had the pleasure of a couple of gents spectacting from a bridge while I fished a pool. When they asked why I wasnt' keeping the ones I caught, I told them because it's illegal. (I figured why bother on the more nuanced ethos of C&R). They proceeded to instruct me on how to carry some clippers and "just clip off that little fin thing like that do at the hatchery" once you catch them.
You gotta love the creativity of these guys. Ironically, last week, a couple of miles from a road on the same water, I shared part of the afternoon with a pair of game wardens. If only the could be out rear round!
