DUDE
PERIOD. I know at crecsent and odell its one a day and it has to be 30" minimum. And the central zone only allows 1 20" plus trout a day. I just checked my reg book. Not sure about this sign you read. Northeast zone: Wallowa lake allows 5 trout a day including lakers with no size limit. Just be carefull about keeping fish without fully reading/understanding the regs.
don't know what your problem is but I really don't care about other lakes I was talking about Cultus lake, and yes 5 FISH 1 CAN ONLY BE OVER 20" how many times do I need to say it, I was not disputing that FACT and I did READ THE REG BOOK maybe some one needs more reading comprehension
