<br />- <br /> <br />n02736 <br /> <br />POLICY QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE PROCESS <br /> <br />1. What are the limits on, or justifications for, the use of <br />catchable sized trout? <br /> <br />- Should DOW continue to use stocking to exceed natural <br />production as the principles say we may <br />- Should catchable trout be used in waters that do not <br />support year-round survival of trout? <br />- Should DOW continue to offer catchable fishing with no <br />extra cost, perhaps adjusting bag limits? <br />- What are the reasons why the public goes trout fishing? <br /> <br />2. What is the scope/relative amount of the wild trout/natural <br />reproduction waters that we will manage? <br /> <br />3. Should DOW change the current philosophy of maximizing <br />recreational opportunities to optimizing recreational <br />opportunities that reflect reduced stocking and greater use of <br />wild trout/natural reproduction waters? Assuming we define <br />what we mean by "Optimizing". <br /> <br />4. Managing in the future. Do we strive for more waters? Less <br />waters? More anglers? Less anglers? Should we strive to <br />provide more opportunities, greater diversity of opportunities <br />(if that is possible), reduced or changed opportunities? Can <br />we state our policy in terms of better managing the resource? <br /> <br />5. Is it possible to state the relative importance of sport fish <br />recreation compared to species protection, either globally or <br />by generic situation? <br /> <br />-rJ <br />~ ~~~ ~"~ <br />rPA.J 1 /ffrrl-~ .,A/>' ~ ~ <br />or pv"'1(~ <br />~ <br />
