No i dont 'think 20 million trout would cost anywhere near $20 million. they are damn near all from the same gene pool and mass produced in a hatchery.

I've done a lot of aquarium work and once you get organized you can produce a lot of fish.

I do a lot of C&R for wild fish, bass, etc. But the stockers come home and get promptly cooked. I see that as an ROI for the $200 I just spent on licenses last week.

all those stocker trout bring people out of the woodwork to buy fishing licenses.  they're actually one of the more sustainable hatchery programs our state has.

I suppose most of the licenses sold go to guys that only fish the big opener and that's it they're done for the whole year..ha ha

On a side note, I know a lot of people stick their nose up at stocker rainbow meat, but I cooked up a bunch Tuesday night and brought in the extra weds. Everyone at work liked it so much they wanted directions to the lake, lol.
