Luckily, the state knows where the money comes from- trout fishermen! Trout by far have the most interest so they SHOULD recieve more dollars than scrap fish.

Personally, I won't fish anything less than trout. Most locals, I've noticed, do not have interest in warmwater fisheries..... Soooo, since there is a lack of interest, lakes should not be developed to support those game fish instead of trout.

Incidently, I don't usually fish those lakes which are stocked heavily with 9" trout, prefering quality restricted gear lakes. Actually, I fish moving water easily 80% of the time... So, I don't get the benefit of most hatchery fish either, but definitely not want to sacrifice trout lakes for warmwater fish.

The question that should be asked is, "When was the last time Tiger Muskie were planted?" Keep those little scrap fish under control!!
