I enjoy Stu's pontificating. For those who don't, at least it keeps him busy so he is not interferring with all of the pontificating here.

Oh yes, eating fish. I have seen lakes get fished out in my life and it disgusts me. On the other hand, eating fish is part of the aesthetic of a wilderness trip. So some sort of balance is reasonable. I do not look to the government for definitions of reasonable balance. Depending on the length of the trip, will eat 0-3 times. But I am never in a large group. Send a dozen teenage boy scouts in there and they could eat a lot of fish.

Just my opinion, but it seems that people who eat the most fish also keep larger fish which is unfortunate.
