You want to argue they were right to close it? Okay. You want to argue that's THEIR land? Cool. Just seems to me if they're going to profit from selling exclusive access to fish on that land, the public shouldn't foot the bill to stock their private playground with hatchery fish. Same goes for Stump Lake, Green Diamond's first foray into the business of pimping out state-funded resources to the highest bidders.

The land is theirs to manage. The fish and wildlife belong to the general public, and if they're going to sell those resources, they should have to buy them first. That is all.
