Limits needed on Wind River canyon and the Big Horn rivers.

[Wind River]

I’ve seen people limit out on big trout on the Wind near the campgrounds. Big hens that would produce more trout. I have nothing against a fisher keeping one or two but the should not keep the big breeding trout, the three guys had at least 15 trout, all but two looked to me like 20”era.
I would like to see a limit in the canyon of 2 with a max length of 16”. I’m not sure how the regs would work in the tribal controlled part of the canyon.
From the wedding of the waters to past Thermopolis, I’d like to see catch & release, flies & lures only.

Yeah, I hear you, letting those big breeders go makes a lot of sense if we want trout numbers to stay strong on the wind

A slot limit there could really help after all, nobody would want a situation where fish are fewer and fishing's more hectic because fish are greatly reduced in the water

Keeping those big hens really hurts the future stock. Limiting it to two under sixteen makes sense, and catch-and-release from Wedding of the Waters sounds like a smart step for sustainability
