last year was awesome, one weekend my wife and me caught over 100 bass, one of them had a mouth about 7 inches in diameter. kinda slow this year due to no rain and not enough fresh water flowing in to the lake, our best day was 30 or 40 fish.

I love to fish. It's one of the best parts about living in Montana. I troll with my boat in the summer on the lakes as well as fly fish the rivers and streams. I even ice fish in the winter. My favorite fish to catch is kokanee salmon although walleye comes in a close second. Anyway, great thread. (rainbow trout is good too)

Great camp grounds, some right on the lakes edge.
I lost; I'm guessing a 5-7 pound trout, in that reservoir, fishing off of the spit.
At the time I was fly casting a zug bug on a two pound test tippet.
I gave him a battle, for about thirty seconds. I never had a chance.

Did they either close a Fishery that you were involved in,or determine a species was threatened and restrict your access to a water source?

I know several Charter Boat operators locally who made there living primarily from Salmon fishing,and who have just gone through there second year without an ocean salmon season......So,they have certainly lost money,without so much as a single fine.
Admittedly in this instance,NMFS and other agencies had to close the fishery,there were simply too few salmon returning to the rivers. Hopefully we get a wet winter,and a decent return of fish this winter.....
