Did it pay for someone to manage the parks surrounding the lakes and potholes and river accesses? Did it pay to remove perch from infested lakes? Did it pay to get excellent data on our fisheries as opposed to flawed, out of date dribble? Did it pay to stop poachers? Did it pay for public signage, education and public service anouncements? Did it pay to remove beaver dams?

Most if not all departments got cut as a response to the economic problems we see happening. Money into the government is money we pay in taxes and fees. Can someone confirm what the total number of stocked fish have been over the last 10 years? Is it increasing each year or decreasing? Curious. Steelhead...since this is your argument...please provide this information. Steelhead...please provide the Fisheries budget portion of F&W for the past 10 years. That is a great place to start versus your conjecture.
Maybe someone from F&W can let us know how the yearly breakdown is covered. Or maybe Steelhead can provide this to show how many beaver dams they did remove...how many infractions were processed...how many studies were done (creel, population etc.).
You don't like get guesses or conjecture...but you seem to give them fine.
