Dan Tredinnick

The trout are fine. If you?re going to eat other resident fish, you should follow the guidelines for bass.

Mike Chamberlain

Land protected in public ownership is critical for valuable fisheries habitat, especially in the sensitive headwaters watersheds where trout and salmon live. With 25 trout and salmon species already listed as threatened or endangered, and others close to being listed, buying key watersheds and riparian areas is one of the best things we can do.

Steve Moyer

The new dam will also include a modified bottom draw. During the warmer months, cold water will be released through pipes at the bottom of the breast. This will mix with the warmer water and be healthier for trout.

Chip Harrison

It's a nice fishery for a small stream. It maintains a self-sustaining population of rainbow and brown trout, which makes it one of the more unique waters in the state. There are very few self-sustaining coldwater fisheries in South Carolina.

Brooks Gallagher

We know that our bull trout use the upper portion of the watershed. It's critical habitat, and the higher these proposals reach into those headwaters, the greater the impact on a fish that's already on the brink of extinction.

William Ferris

This is my crawfish pattern, named for my cat (Jack) that was watching me when I tied the crawfish. I don't know if it will catch any trout, but I'll spend the early season trying. I'll just drag it along the bottom. You'll have to put a lure in front of a trout's nose today.

Brandon Scholz

The main principles for trout fishing are food and cover. If fish can get under the (ice) shelf and feel protected, they will eat more aggressively.

That's going to be the big stumbling block. The Coastal Commission has expressed resistance to any armoring.

Frank Emerson

You can't beat Cajun fried trout. Man, they were good!
