Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission

Yeah.

This stream access issue is something that has grown in importance to me because the more I've dug into it, Jim, the more I really believe that as a citizen of pennsylvania and a paying uh you know fly fisherman and fishing license holder in this state i really believe there is a very solid and sensible argument that we need to take a strong look at the way that our fish and boat commission is managing funds right now and i don't say that lightly You know, I've always wanted to be supportive of that group.

But Pennsylvania, I believe at this point, is putting too much of its trout fishing investment into producing fish each year.

And I don't believe that they're putting enough into permanently protecting places where future generations can actually fish.

And they're basically spending fish and boat into oblivion in this hot, wet dumpster fire of like, you know, they're the ones who are going to run on money, not PGC.

They've got enough oil and gas revenue where there's no deficit there.

So it's like, why? Let's start at like, my thing would be if I was that guy at the PGC, I would start firing questions back to the Fish and Boat Commission.

How did 83% of your stock streams end up on private land.

uh so you know that's

what we should do as as citizens of this society is contact our elected representatives and tell them how you feel about these things so tell them you want to stop stalking over wild trout first and foremost and and you know reduce or eliminate pennsylvania fish and boat commission's reliance on hatchery trout as a means for revenue it's been proven scientifically that the the quantity of trout produced has no correlation to the sales of fishing license Yeah,

John always put that research out there.

That is a huge myth.
