From what ive gathered the state does get some of the profit. Ill look into these programs a little further. Still, if this money is divided between people, thrown to operation costs, its a business. How do the fish benefit? The license buyers funding, raises these fish, keep state workers paid and help keep the lights on. Where's our benefit if we're sitting on the bank? You know who it does benefit? The ones that get to wet their nets/lines in gh this winter for steelhead. Mid coasters as well. If the fish got so much benefit gh wouldn't be closed this year. These are facts.
