Pennsylvania wild trout advocates target hatchery and stocking reform

A new coalition wants the state to stop stocking hatchery-raised trout over streams with wild populations, as the Fish and Boat Commission faces a fiscal crisis while spending about 30% of operating funds on hatcheries.

This is a good article and an important topic.

But I think many people will miss it because the title of the thread has no information on the topic.

Could an informative title be added?

It is a good article.
Love him or hate him, James is still right on this and he sure gets it out in the spotlight more than anyone I've seen in the 40 years I've been fishing.

Glad to see wild trout advocates coming together here and finding some common ground.

This is such an important movement that appears to finally be getting some traction. I am proud of the work being done and am excited to continue to send targeted emails and speak to those in positions to make the changes that need to be made.

I’m also very proud of the hard work that has been put into this effort. James has gathered a lot of support and important stakeholders in the reform efforts. It’s great to see some larger media coverage.

Yep, there is a plan in place now. At this point, its all about doing the grunt work that we can and trusting the process.
