i really wouldn't mind paying an extra 10 bucks personally as long as it ALL went back into the fishery...the way the state is right nwo i dont blame them if they need extra cash...we have an awesome fishery 29 bucks is well worth it to me...surprised to see such negative comments...all the stocking, creek renovations, fish surveys and shocking costs money.....the state does a ton for us $29 a year is very little for the hours and hours of enjoyment we all get...not trying to stir the pot just my 2 cents
