I heard a rumor yesterday that the hatchery might be on the chopping block. Sakakawea does not have a natural reproduction of walleye. This would shut this huge fishery off in a few years.
The big fish you put back because you are a fella that believes they are a good egg layer and helping the population, God bless you, but you are not. The natural spawn in this awesome resource is below sustainability big time.

Really - so a 25% pay gap between government employees pay and their private sector counterparts is not enough?

Lol...coming from govt exexutive website..from the federal salary council made up of...its almost like people voting for their own wage increases....wait a second... like i said...it needs to be reviewed and if excess cut it...if not then good job. Again why argue cutting excess from the govt?

Fishing accounts for an economic impact of about $788+ million in ND. Let’s cut the $600k hatchery budget in the name of “efficiency”! It’s been nice to live in the good old days. We voted for this right?

There’s always carp.

There are a lot of things I think many guys were unaware they actually voted for when they voted for Trump. Of course when you ask ANY of them they'll deny it....human nature.

Whatever, I don't think the alternative was any better. Probably worse.

Sometimes a change up is needed to make it better.
I would guess most of the DOGE effect will trim budgets, wake people up, and most things will remain, but just be done way cheaper, and likely better.

Look what happened with Twitter.

Couldn't NDGNF take over the fish hatchery if need be? I believe GNF supplies the eggs now and also disperses the fry, why couldn't they just add a couple "button pushers" ;) and do all of it?

Just reduce the limit..1 walleye a week. No need for button pushers or stocking....

give 25 tags when license is purchased and when the 25 tags are gone one is done for the year. That way all you pigs that get to go fishing multiple times a week can't deplete the resources for those that only fish a few times a month. ...duel...

I don't really understand how these federal fish hatchery's work. Don't NDGF already do 90% of the work now? They milk the fish, supply the eggs and distribute the fry. Wtf do the feds do, watch the eggs hatch??

In SD, our legislature and Governor Noem loved to spout off about how our budget was sitting so good. They never complained nor mentioned the federal money propping things up. Now much of that money is dwindling and we’re looking at a much tighter budget. Point being even “conservatives” like the Botox beauty Noem will bullshit the public without really telling the truth. Politicians all around regardless of party affiliation.

One time money needs to be spent on the purpose it was intended or sent back. It should not prop up budgets or pad other funds.

100% agree. Look at the blue lights in bis..the bike lanes in all these cities..that was dept of transporatation grant money..aka the peoples money from federal grants. A true conservative would send the money back and say no thanks..not needed...get your shit together and priorities straight.
