#6....Raise the price of the great lakes stamp to fund hatcheries? Why? Why do we need hatchery fish thrown in our waters?

Those streams don't stock themselves. Believe it or not, not every trout stream is a self-sustaining fishery.

That's my point. Quit spending money on streams that aren't self sustaining. And if possible instead direct the money to streams that could be self sustaining if they had a little TLC.

Think if all the the people who fish the Lake Michigan tribs were to hit the Lake Superior tribs. (or even half of them or 1/4) And imagine if the big boat cooler fillers who hit Lake Michigan would head north.

They are starting to. It's just a matter of time.

I know, but I think more of them would go north more frequently if there were no fish in the L. Michigan Tribs. I view the stocking of the Root etc. as creating a buffer.

There's a small stagnant pond in Northern Wisconsin. Years ago someone out up an official looking green and white lake name sign by it. Over the last 20 years or more, occasionally people will be shown in the local papers with very big fish, and a note saying that they came from that "lake." It's been an in-joke that the papers have never caught onto for all these years. I smile every time I see it.

Just finished filling out the W.C.C. Spring Hearing questionnaire. I certainly wish that the DNR would have someone available to work with the members of the W.C.C. who compose the W.C.C. "Advisory Questions" so as to produce questions that are readable and grammatically correct. The number of half sentences, non-sentences and grammatical faux pas in so many of the advisory questions often makes it difficult to understand what the questions are asking.

Doubtful. I've interacted with these people for several decades. They are good, well-intentioned folks, to be sure, but they are not well-versed in the English language. It would behoove them to enlist people who would proof-read the motions and edit them in order to make them understandable. I'd offer to help, but I'm a Smiley

Some important conservation battles have been lost due to literacy challenges of the people who write these.
