I think you're onto something trapper.  NY is the worst with their geographical rules and limits.

STU i was walking down  nine mile  creek and  the  rules changed as i walked!!!!  the  DEC officer couldn't believe it as this stream is stocked  by the  county (carpenters  brook ) which i voulenteer  to help stock   same stream same  stocked  fish  walk  30 feet and the rules  change ...... and it's not going to stop here with the trout....  now its panfish   different rules  everywhere  from limits  from 15 to 25 and  some  8 inches ......i said it before this is  stupid ...fishing is supposed to be  fun  ...watch a  kid what makes it fun ? he catches  fish and  takes them home  .....,  we have no hunters  and soon no fisherman

 And they want you to reduce beef intake , so it looks like grass and bugs for lunch 🤪

mean while our beef is exported to china

top five importers being Japan, China, Taiwan, South Korea and Canada. The 2023 beef exports totaled 1.29 million metric tons (mmt) with a value of $860.8 million, down 12% from the 2022 record.

so thats why burger is nearly 7 bucks a pound

Partly true ,but at the UN meeting  they ate gourmet beef and drove gas guzzling SUV , if you keep raising wages that burger is still going to go up or they will have to layoff workers to maintain those prices and that takes in all businesses if many haven’t noticed many more automated check outs at the grocery and your fillet o fish is  💵 😉
 My trout gear is at the ready 👍

I buy my beef locally. Much better price without all the preservatives and help out the local farmers.

well i hit my little lake i fish before the streams open   i seen some rises couldn't see what they were riseing too  tried a  griffen gnat and a 16 olive  nothing ......went to a scud and got a  dink perch    ....no skunk

[trapper2000]

something to think about ,we don't have all the snow melt this year!  nor do we have ice on the beaver ponds lakes and small waters ,we should be able to hit the northern trout streams and andirondacks  early before black flies are out  ......umless we get alot of rain  it looks like well have streams in good shape and no reason stocking can't be done

There is a creek in the catskills I want to revisit....
