I agree that the State should not be stocking private lakes on private property...hard to compare salmon/steelhead to that, though, when not only is the entire river open to fish, but accessible, too...you just can't drive in there and launch a boat.

Take home for me is that I hope the State buys access, and that the "private property personal responsibility anti-Socialists" who want this drop their hypocrisy and realize that when the entirety of the taxpayers in Washington fund buying this access for us, then that is Socialism by any definition that you can stretch it into.

Fish on...
