[QUOTE="gonefshn, post: 74128, member: 380"] IMO places like Lake Alice were the one thing Devils Lake had going for it when it came to not having to put in slot limits. These upper major spawning and larger female staging areas were hard to get to and some not fishable at all. Opening Lake Alice was the dumbest move I've seen yet. Between a few anglers who just couldn't stand it that they couldn't go there and catch these big females so they can post pics of how good of a fisherman they are and now the greed of some guides wanting to show how great they are the last safe places that were the future of our fishery are slowly getting decimated. One only needs to go to the indoor cleaning station to make their stomach turn as they see large female after large female being cleaned. And as you talk to them most of those cleaning these big fish were fishing these new areas. What a shame. Is your greed for cash today and need to stroke your egos really that much more important than the long term future of this great fishery? I hope all of you will write to the FWS and ask them to nix this proposal. It's bad enough what's happening to these areas right now. To add to it groups guided by anglers with the best equipment bringing thousands more to these areas imo is not in the best interest of the Devils Lake fishery. [/QUOTE]
