Another absolutely pathetic photo op attempt by a totally dysfunctional agency to bolster license sales which have dropped alarmingly in the last 20 years. Funds that are robbed from sportsmen fees to finance "studies" of non game species to delight the Sierra Club set. There are about 167 lakes capable of sustaining fish populations in the three wilderness areas around me, but they stopped stocking over 20 years ago. They used to stock the lakes with joint cooperation using Forest Service fire helicopters. In 1980 there were roughly 20 packing and guide services here serving this area, now there are 3...struggling to survive because elk and deer hunting is much worse than the fishing. Is there anything that any govt agency can do well?
