Pennsylvania Governor Kicks Off Trout Stocking Program - Bassmaster-ND - 03-18-2004
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]PERRY COUNTY, PA—Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell recently stocked the first trout of 2004 during ceremonies at Little Buffalo State Park in the state's Perry County. The event kicked off the annual release of millions of trout into Pennsylvania waterways to support recreational angling. [/size][/#000000][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]Fishing in Pennsylvania generates about $1.6 billion in economic activity each year, with trout fishing contributing $500 million of that. [/size][/#000000][/font]
[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][#000000][size 2]The Pennsylvania Game Commission will stock approximately 2.2 million adult trout in about 900 waters statewide during the next 6 weeks. An additional 2 million will be released during the fishing season. [/size][/#000000][/font]

That is the kind of support that we anglers need. A govt that cares about us anglers. It is unfortunate that there are cutbacks in some states but it is also nice to know that there is some good left in others states.
