Maguana,

Here's a little math calculation to work out should you choose to do so.

1 - Take the TOTAL operating budget WDFW is allotted for 1 fiscal year.

2 - Multiply the total number of fishing licenses sold by 40. (this is a generous figure because it assumes that ALL sportfisher's purchased both the salt and freshwater licenses.

Subtract #2 from #1. While I don't have the exact figures handy (That's where research on your part comes in) I think you'll find that the total revenue generated from license sales IS LESS than WDFW's operating budget. The rest is provided through the general fund.
