State wide anglers license funds boost NC fish hatcheries
Anglers' license fees paid to North Carolina's Department of Conservation and Development last spring and summer support a greatly expanded inland fishing program. The 1927 anglers' license law, enacted by the general assembly, yielded over $17 000 for the first year. Funds fund warden services and hatchery improvements, with new bass ponds at Frank Stedman hatchery Fayetteville and expanded rainbow trout facilities at Pete Murphy Marion. Additions at Morrison Waynesville and Watauga Rutherford hatcheries, plus a planned bass hatchery near Lake James, Burke and McDowell counties, are funded by the act.
