I think there should be a free (or at least very cheap) warm water species license for residents who catch and release warm water species. F&G does not stock warm water species. Seem silly to me that I have to pay for a fishing license to cover the cost of stocking rivers with rainbow and brown trout, species that I'm pretty sure aren't even indigenous to the area, when I don't fish for them. I used to love to fish for bass and other warm water fish, now I just don't bother because the license is absurdly priced.
