My issue with this is if people get it in their heads that it's the hatcheries' responsibility to keep the rivers stocked with bass, many anglers won't treat them as the valuable natural resource they are.

The anglers might regard them as a put-and-take species and just load them up on their stringers where ever they find bass.

Bass grow so slowly, a put-and-take attitude, even with increased stocking, can only hurt the bass fishing.
