Fish Commission No State Burden on Taxpayers
The Montana fish and game department is funded by a one dollar license and state revenues. The state fish commission operates two hatcheries, distributes fry to streams, and relies on local anglers and railways to plant fish with minimal waste. Annual license revenue about sixty thousand dollars funds salaries, prosecutions, hatchery improvements, and egg gathering labor, while commissioners incur expenses but no pay.
