Legislative Audit Bureau
June 9, 1997
The Honorable, The Legislature:
We have completed our evaluation of fish propagation and stocking activities carried out by the Department of Natural Resources, as directed by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee.
S192
Between 1986 and 1995, the Department reduced the number of fish stocked by 58.9 percent, and it plans further reductions for 1997. Concerns have been expressed that such declines may jeopardize high-quality fishing opportunities in the state, which could harm the tourism industry as well as reduce state revenues from license sales. Department officials, however, believe that new management strategies, improved habitat to encourage natural reproduction, and greater reliance on regulations to reduce angling pressure will help maintain high-quality fishing despite the reduction in total stocking. While total fishing license and stamp sales have declined 11.4 percent over the last ten years, the decline may be influenced by factors such as societal changes in leisure time activities, as well as by the perceived quality of fishing opportunities.
