The license money goes to the fish farms and that keep the lakes and rivers stocked with trout. They have to do that because in the summer our population swells from 20k people to 100k or so. Those people like to fish too. We all overfished it.

I only know one person with a private lake. Thats their lake and if they want to fish every last crappie out and leave it barren thats their business.

Everybody else needs to deal with everybody else and if we want to keep game fish in the lake then we gotta make more fish to put back; those fish cost money. Getting someone to take care of the baby fish costs money. Feeding the fish costs money.

This isn't kings land shit. This is conservation of the ecosystem so that everybody can enjoy it. So yes. The governement did provide and own the fish, but they give them to us because thats what we wanted.
