I'm concerned that if they keep the hatchery open, they will raise the price of a permit.

Fishermen are the only users of OKC parks and recreation that have to pay our own way.

If they close the hatchery, I won't buy another permit or boat permit. I'm done with it. Its the most unfair , unjust thing I've ever seen. There is absolutely no justification to charge for a permit without spending money to maintain or improve the fishing.

But I will say this also, that from what I hear, the only way the hatchery remains open is if they hear from enough fishermen. If the fishermen don't speak up, it will be their fault as much as Whisenhunt and the Council.

There comes a time when fishermen have to speak up and quit allowing themselves to get pushed around.
