Lost Creek Kokanee Rule Change

[cyprinus_23]

Thanks Bob.  You've got some good points there, especially point 4 where the definition of trout is listed.  Since this is a gray area, we're going to enforce the broadest interpretation of the rule, which is why nobody will be getting tickets for keeping kokanee falling within the trout slot.  There may be some modifications during the rule-making process this year, but it's looking like the special regulation for Lost Creek will be proposed to look like those bullet points I listed above. 

Thanks for chiming in on this grey area Chris.  I'd like you to also take a look at this link (https://bigfishtackle.com/forum/showthre...id=1101330) where this same subject was broached.  I made a post there and included 4 quotes from the Guidebook that, IMHO, seem to say that salmon are considered trout and therefore the slot limit at Lost Creek does, in fact, include kokanee.

I like your interpretation of the meaning way better than mine and will gladly keep 4 kokanee on trips in the future.  But when it comes time to re-write the Guidebook for next year, I would ask that you look at the 4 quotes I posted and make sure they all imply the same thing.  As always, your willingness to participate in these forums is much appreciated.
