Effective July 1, 2011

Orange and Lochloosa Lakes-the number of bass longer than 24 inches total length that an angler may take is limited to one. Anglers are encouraged to use effective catch-and-release techniques to help extend the quality of this fishery. As before, all bass between 15 and 24 inches total length must be released immediately unharmed. Anglers are encouraged to harvest up to three (only two if one longer than 24 inches is also taken) bass shorter than 15 inches total length each day. This allows the larger fish to continue to grow quickly to trophy size due to less competition.
Smith Lake-Has been removed from the Fish Management Area system.

I'm with you on that one....But I'd settle with a 10" limit on every lake in the Southeast..I read earlier about a lake going to an 8" limit...That just didn't make too much sense to me, but at least there is a limit now!!...Quality over quantity any day

By now you guys know that I agree with you on this subject. I wish I caught enough fish for this topic to impact me.

i totally agree with the 10" rule, in fact would like to see it go to 12" on heavy
pressured lakes, maybe also lowering the number of fish per person or group would
also help...........

25 per person, max of 100 per boat...elimates the pontoon boats with 10 guys on
board and 40 rods out.........
