I have been waiting to make any comments on this situation until I felt like I got a better grasp on the situation. I am very nervous for what this freeze has done to our population of trout and redfish. We have all seen the pictures, straight up horrible… Our fish definitely took a beating from this one. Decided to make a phone calls to someone I know very high up in LDWF. Now I don’t necessarily agree with this to the fullest. I will have to see some data to back this up, but what I was told is that this fish kill was not as bad as we might think. Hopefully they are right and maybe thats why we haven’t seen a limit change. Only time will tell…. On a little bit of a better note, I have had some friends smash the trout the past few days even in areas that reported fish kills. Maybe we have a chance. I am still giving the trout a break until I feel like we know the full extent of this situation.
