Also, why would they have been fishing there last week when they are going to stock it this week? They drained the lake a bit ago, so unless they also stocked it before this week, there wouldn't have been any fish.
Even if it isn't the end of the world for folks to take stocked trout early, it's still a pretty jerk-ish thing to do. Like a guy blatantly cutting in line and not seeming to care about it. I love America, but we do have a ton of selfish people in this country.
I do have a slighttttttt problem with troopers being called out to man made fisheries, when they could be catching 'poachers' endangering Native runs.
Way I see it, these people might just as likely poach a native run if given the opportunity, so it's best to, er, educate them before they realize the opportunity.
Never understood people's problem with poaching. I could never be mad at someone putting food on the table. I fish for sport and don't keep any so I myself feel like I shouldn't even have to buy a license, but its whatever.... Now people that shoot a deer, take the back strap and leave the rest. That'd the kind of poaching that bother's me.
