What it does

Under current law, the natural resource commission may stock private water only when the owner of the private water agrees that such water shall be open to the public for fishing. The commission may provide a breeding stock of fish for privately owned farm ponds upon the request of the owner. This bill prohibits the commission from stocking a private lake or pond. The commission may, however, stock a creek or stream that flows through private property.
