As to the pole limit, Lake Weiss has a limit of 3 per person in the water at one time. May help, but I have not seen any data on the effect this has had on the population. I like the lake, but when making my schedule, if I had to chose between a lake that has size and creel limits or a lake that has size, creel and rod quantity, 90% of the time I will chose the first lake.

The vibe from the Alabama folks that I got was that the rod limit was a way to reduce crowding on the lake and not so much a biological based restriction to improve the fishery.
