In addition, we have offered to cost share and buy fish privately.. They won’t let us put “non-compliant” fish into the federal waterways. they have their own rules and regulations.. So I ask you, if you represented people who built their lives and livelihoods around a program that was legally mandated, what would you do?
What would I do? I’d find a way for my County to buy its own damned trout and tell the Feds to go pee up a rope.
Screw their rules and regulations. Get the County Sheriff to tell them to get the hell out of his jurisdiction.
Stop being a sheep.
