Keeping Trout

[JBlanchard]

Since I have started fly fishing, I no longer keep any fish. I aways think to myself, it'll get bigger for next time, or someone else can have fun catching it. My wife like trout and always wants me to keep them, which I hate. What I'd like to get some opinions on is, why not keep the ones that have no chance of surviving the summer or water conditions. I know of three rivers around which the trout have no chance of surviving. Of course, I would not keep them in areas where they have a chance, but where they don't, why not. The state puts them in bad rivers for people to keep, why not do it in rivers where they don't have a chance. I myself hate keeping them, I honestly felt bad when i kept five last year. Maybe im a headcase, ha ha. Opinions?

While a strong advocate of C&R, I don't think there is anything wrong with keeping a trout or 2, especially in marginal trout waters. Hey, if it keeps the wife happy, there's definitely something to be said for that, right? Gotta keep the skids greased every now and then.

Generally, there's plenty of fish out there in the 12-16" range. I don't think it's a problem to keep a couple. I don't (and neither do you, apparently) think it's cool to come home with your limit time and time again. If you land a hawg... well, you know what to do
Quick photo and back in it goes.

I keep a few fish here and there because my grandpa likes to eat the so i keep them for him
so keeping a few fish is not a bad thing

kind of a silly post to start, but i started thinking about it more when Aaron and I were discussing how stupid it is to stock brook trout that are lucky to survive the south branch of the raritan, if at all. It would be a little bit quicker death then dying from the water being to hot or poor quality. On those rivers, I think I will just keep a few. I'll see how long that lasts.

Personally, the only Brookies I would keep are the 6-10 inchers in small local streams that are not stocked. They are truly tasty specimens. I would never eat a white-meat-Brookie that comes from the SBR via truck

Sometimes I'l go fish the Deerfield a few evenings in a row and get a bunch of fish, then I'll ask my wife if she wants me to bring some home. If she says yes, I get skunked :-[ Imagine that - its happened on more than one occasion.
