I don't know if you read or not but I have seen bait fishermen cull and let the dead fish just go down the current. I'm talking taking a 10" fish off the stringer to put on something a little larger. Trout are stocked and not an unlimited resource in E. TN. It's getting better per my buddy with slot limits and a little more TWRA presence.I actually need to go, haven't had trout in a while. I've seen people do that, I've only done the streams they stock a few times that someone has taken me. Limit is 8 here though!
It's fun going to the rivers and streams here, but I prefer to catch them out of the lake if I'm trout fishing. The stock's are fun, and you can get 8 if you wanna eat some that day. Our lakes though, they have some big trout, I mean big. The lake house where my father in law worked had trout stocked, but they were big, like 5lb+I don't know if you read or not but I have seen bait fishermen cull and let the dead fish just go down the current.
