Article detailing the dollar amounts of voluntary fishing permits sold in 2019 plus how some of the funds are being spent in 2020.
Points of interest about the wild trout fund from the article >
All told, the plan is to spend $127,600 of the money raised this year on 14 projects this year. The commission will use the remaining $2,250 to money raised this year for projects in 2021
The wild trout and enhanced waters permit brought in the most revenue, about 45 percent of the total. That’s not necessarily surprising given that it costs more than twice the others, said Andy Shiels, deputy director for field operations for the commission.
The commission is putting wild trout funds into, among other things, eliminating culvert blockages in wild trout streams, so that fish can spread out and spawn in more places. That’s been a national emphasis in recent years, Shiels said.
“So this is our first toes in the stream, specifically for this type of project,” he added.
