Just when you think the People's Republic of Connecticut couldn't get any more restrictive....I am ok not harvesting fish in an effort to help with conservation efforts, but 2 tip ups? Not very happy about that.
Not sure why they did it, but hope the restriction doesn't spread to other lakes. It wouldn't surprise me if it does, however. I don't think it's just about harvest. There are plenty of do gooders that equate six tipups to six open water lines, although not a valid comparison. A guy casting from a boat can cover more water in six casts than those six tipups. Another common complaint is spreading tipups all over the place to keep other people away. Limiting the tipup count cuts down on that.
All of the salmon lakes in nh are 2 lines only lakes and nobody complains up there. The point is to maintain a healthy population of fish. Everybody always wants more and bigger fish. Well there's plenty of other lakes around where you can catch stockers all day. Not many places you can go and catch that size class of fish. Its not a place you go to fill your freezer. You go to catch a trophy fish and enjoy it
