Personally i think that is insane. It is exactly because of this idiocy that we have so many endangered fish. Start with the freakin rules around 200 fish taken per day by 100 fisherman. Is pollution really the main problem?
And if there are 5 in their group that means 10 SM, over 30cm. You could never proove who caught which fish, and the ABUSERS are actaually using this " Loophole". Put 10 people on or next to the water with a rod in hand, and they count as fisherman, irrespective of the fact that they can actually cast any line. = 20 SM's taken to kook and or sell.
Small Mouth Yellows only. Any LM has to be returned immediately.
It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

Fishing is just my thing. I don't know what it is but it seems that i just can't get enough of it.

Any PRIVATE venue owners may impose rules over and above those legislated.
It is after all THEIR land.
Other examples of this are :
ELGRO, flyfishing only , strictly catch & release
Eendekuil, as above
Donaldson Dam, ( Westonarea , Carp & Bass venue ). No keep nets allowed, strictly C & R .
The venue owners decide on the rules, however they may not exceed the catch limits imposed by legislation.

Ill be willing to pay more for a venue that is well run like ELGRO etc, you know what you pay for! I dont want to see yellows being put in a keepnet, makes me die m&^r in! Saw a guy at BJ a while ago fishing with bait in the rapids, discuised with a fly reel on a 6ft bass rod!
He caught two very nice fish, when he unhooked them he grabbed them IN the gills and chucked them back. No net nothing!
