Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe these fish, that we as sportsman pay for, are stocked for purpose of being caught.
Catching these fish seems to be very good for the local economys around the lake as well as the ability to pay for these fish to begin with.
If the 3 rod rule has detrimental results you 2 rods is OK but 3 would be catastrophic, poor fish crowd can move to have it repealed. Or move to have our license money go to putting a few more fish in the lake instead of going into the States General fund.
Cut out the economic benefits and see what your State does for your fishery.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
