Mike Schoonveld: Who funds Michigan’s fisheries programs?

Ask an angler the question posed in the title and he’s likely to say, “I do.” If you follow-up this question, asking “How do you pay?” The answer will be, “I buy a fishing license.”
He would be right, to a degree. The Michigan DNR sells well over a million fishing licenses each year, collecting almost $30 million this year. That’s a lot of money dedicated to fish management, surveys, stocking, and plenty of other “fishy” things.
That’s certainly not the only money spent on behalf of Michigan’s fish population and state anglers.
