I like this one better, take the pvc pipe all the way to the ground making it look like a giant spider. Folks who bottom fish can deal with this set up, they wouldn't get hung up like they would with brush piles.

Signs telling everyone how many fish they can keep.
Make sure that they are also in Spanish and Vietnamese.

I don't think we need to cater to anyone who doesn't read and speak English.
If they get caught, they can just pay the fine.

man those trout are small this year.. I guess they haven't ever been real big at the South Lake stockings..
I got spoiled by hitting river park a few years ago. We caught and kept our 10 fish limit with 3 of them being over 20".

I am still interested in hearing from the folks that fish the ponds in Denton so I can hopefully include your feedback in any improvements we make. Would any of you be interested in meeting with me for a public meeting at my office or at the Civic Center in the next few weeks? I would like to hear from my end customers that use the lakes.
Please feel free to contact me so we can see about setting a meeting up. How about some time near the end of next week?

Fished So Lks, Hobson lake, this morning. I caught one trout about 8.5 in. and the stinkin' water turkeys caught/ate more 15 in the two hours I was there. If they take approx 20 in a.m. and 20 in p.m. (this is most likely an under-estamation) that's 40+ per day. If the release yesterday, Feb 9, was 1,000, by the next release date they will have taken 560+ trout. Doesn't leave many for us humans.
I would like to have larger trout released as most of them now are "what can I stuff this trout into" as opposed to "what can we stuff into the trout" for cooking, eating.

Good point
Don't know if the stats would true up like that on a daily basis but point made.
The specification is usually for a 10 to 12 inch trout. Will check on what's being delivered and get back to you. Pm me your phone # or leave me a message at my office. Feedback on improvements I need to make are what I am looking for.
It doesn't make me smile but will help us deliver a better product.
Thanks
Jim
