THE FUTURE: AN EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION?

Brook trout were always abundant at one time. In 1857 Minnesota induced people to settle in Winona by advertising the abundance of speckled trout in the area. But the increased usage of hatchery-bred fish in the past few decades attests to the decline of native populations.

Although proper stocking practices, which include spawning area enhancement, contribute to better fishing, anglers should become involved by supporting research programs. It would be a sad day to see us follow in the footsteps of Scotland where it may cost clubs thousands of dollars annually for a few hundred yards of trout stream. Many areas of North America are now owned and leased by fishing clubs but we're lucky we haven't reached that stage yet. Or have we?
