We have them around my area, it's just like fishing in a hatchery.For very young kids it would make a great memory. But anymore than that no thanks.

Same thing as canned hunting. A shortcut that eliminates the sport. To those people who feel the need to get their hunting and fishing experiance that way I feel sorry for you.

RE: pay lakes
 

Alot of lakes here in Maine are stocked with fish. Be it salmon, brook trout, splake, and lake trout. But, our purchases of fishing lisences, and fishing rigging ( rods, lures, etc. ) go towards stocking them. There is a few places set aside for children or handicapped to fish. I know here the waters are big and plentifull but, if that is all they have there then so be it. But, why charge a child $10 to fish? Perhaps this should be of help to get some of the area buisnesses some buisness. Wouldn't they help out for such a cause to get children fishing? As for me to pay $10 dollars to fish, well that would be crazy no matter how big or small. But, again here there is alot of places to go after them.
