Sounds to me like the canal company maybe tried to close these resevoirs to fishing like rumor had it but, because of the public monies put in the fishery, they were advised that as long as F&G was putting money into them they couldnt touch it, so they decided to start putting their own money into it so down the road they could either close them or increase fees to fish there so when the fees got high enough people would just stop coming.
Before everyone gets in an uproar, maybe someone should contact fish and game and see what their take is on this. I would, but im in Texas and can make the call.
Also, what happens if some one fishing without a license gets stopped on highway with fish, how do you prove they are from one of these areas? Seems kinda fishy to me [

I just have a hard time thinking that the canal company would invest in that kind of money to put in the resevoirs with what little money they actually get back without a longer term deal in the works.
Just my 2 cents.
