I can understand the salmon and not catch them but I think their is an overpopulated lake trout fishery on winni and don't see why we couldn't have a slot limit caught alot of lakers this season 2.5 to 3.5 lbs one right after anotherand also have catch and releaseup to ice in . just my 2 cents . "reel in it " also without having any ice and not being able to fish for the lakers during the winter when alot of lakers are keep their numbers are getting bigger year after year.

Not sure if it was discussed on this question, I just spoke with a guy that said he could fish for Lakers next week from shore or from a boat. I told him I thought it had to be through the ice ????? He insisted that he's seen people Laker fishing from boats on Winnisquam in January before.

Not that I would ever take my boat up now, but just a question for those that might ??
