One question would open the harvest season for inland trout from the first Saturday in May to the first Saturday in April.
The stated reason is to increase the harvest opportunities for trout. The SWTU Board has not taken a position on this proposal. However, the recent edition of Wisconsin Trout has a thoughtful article on it. I think it’s fair to say that the article voices some skepticism about the idea. Some concerns are the lack of public discussion of this idea and of the scientific data and reasoning that supports it.
A more localized question might well earn our support. A question proposes more protection for the brook trout of 6 Mile Creek on stretches of the stream restored by the Nohr Chapter.
