Last week I took an angler (or a small group of anglers) to task for leaving dozens of dead lake trout on the ice of Sebago Lake after an ice fishing derby. Then I heard from readers. Reaction to that column was quick, and opinions varied vastly. Some thought that I was a jerk because I called out what I saw as behavior that would make all anglers look bad by association. Others praised the stance I took. And still others wanted to argue about my assertion that many Mainers consider yellow perch “trash fish.” ~ John Holyoke
