Been fishing R.I. for trout for years where a trout stamp is required. I don't know too much about their money management, as to where they distribute funds, (into the general fund or to support trout stocking). They do have a decent stocking program for trout. Trout stamp is $5 and it is required if you want to have trout in your possession. It is my understanding that anyone can fish for trout in the stocked waters but can not keep any without the stamp. Over the years I have been very impressed with the quality of trout that they have produced. Surprised CT. hasn't tried this before now. If this new revenue is used for the general fund we as sportsman will be short changed once again.
