No, fish are free!
July 2, 2008, 10:34am (report abuse)Just kidding: According to the report (link above, "Read analysis of the bill"): "The expense
of stocking fish would be borne by the state or other nonfederal entities, as it has been since
the three park units were established." This bill just *allows* stocking of fish.
