Mr. Jim is right, practice catch and release.

I did fish twice after the FJ, but when I saw the number of boats and the water levels, I decided to not fish it anymore.
If you want to fish it, go. I've just stated MY opinion. Like I said, I'm not frowning on anyone that does fish Butla, I'm just not going to anymore.

BTW, thanks for the replies so far guys!!!

That's consistent with most of the reports I'm hearing about butla. Lots of people are catching from 0 to 5 keepers. Tough fishing and tough boat launching will probably protect the fish population without Corp or MDWFP intervention.

That's a good point. I'm just wondering why it went from limits to 0-5? Maybe it's just the heat.

As bad as I hate to post it, the ones that ARE fishing Butla know that the ramp at Dub Patton has been dredged out, and can now be used, according to my sources anyway. I still ain't going, but good luck to those that choose to!!!!
