#16522, "RE: AB7 Hatcher Bill - Status?" In response to In response to 0
Ok, I'll be the dork who answers his own question :)
I found this article today that summarizes it pretty well. http://www.junelakechamber.org/pages/summer.php?id=2
Looks like the additional trouts will come in three phases Phase 1 starts 7/1/07 Phase 2 starts 7/1/08 Phase 3 starts 7/1/09
The number of trout planted per phase will be based on license sales, and the article is saying that there will be 2.25, 2.5, then 2.75lbs of trout plated per licence sold in each phase. At 2 million license sales annually that equates to 4.5, 5, and 5.5 million pounds of trout per year in each phase respectively. I'm not sure how many pounds are planted annually now but 4.5 million pounds of trout sounds like a lot to me :)
