Jayman,
If you are talking about catfish and bait fishing, then that is one thing, but if you are talking about LMB and sport fishing with flies/lures, then it is an entirely different matter.
Try convincing a paying customer that the LMB are really not lure shy and they are just poor fishermen....
There is a group that has formed in Texas that leases ponds from land owners and then turns around and sells fishing rights to the general public. For LMB fishing, they are very careful to limit fishing pressure knowing full well the consequences if they do not. I'm very interested in what happens to their business and plan to join just to be able to study more ponds in various situations.
