I am sure that most trout NJ fishermen would be willing to accept a temporary increase in the price of trout stamps to cover the cost of purchasing out-of-state trout to be stocked in our streams.
I would be more the willing to drop more cash on trout stamps every year if that means a permanent solution is found, even purchase stamps for other species as someone else here mentioned to help with the cost. Acquiring from PA or NY is a decent short term answer but what if those states have issues as NJ has this year?
