Re"At Strawberry, forage will be the limiting factor."

With rainbows, I would have to disagree here. The limiting factor with the bows is that they are harvested at a high rate before they can reach large size. Bows are fully capable of reaching good size there and do if they survive the harvesting. Even the big cutts eat a significant amount of zooplankton. (per a study by the DWR a few years ago.) The thing is, the rainbow harvest is by design. The DWR and a whole bunch of anglers want it this way. The last Central open house had several anglers wanting more bows and/or elimination of the slot for cutts.

RE: "Fisherman will have to decide on which is most important to them, quality or quantity."

This is spot on.

Finally, Re: "By the way, the reason that PBH makes so much sense is that he is a BIOLOGIST who knows what he is talking about !!! Listen to him and learn !!!!"

Family members, yes, are biologists but I think PBH is a computer guy. You are right that he knows what he's talking about but don't give him a big head.[]
