Aix sponsa & elkrun,

There was a thread on fishing license fees and the state general fund a few days ago. You may have missed it. The upshot is that WDFW receives vastly more money from the state general fund than is received from fishing and hunting license revenue and permit fees. If WDFW had to get by on "user fees" alone, I would expect the department to be slashed by over 50%. So how, exactly, would our fishing be improved if all the license fees were being "properly" expended?

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
