Under current law, DNR must spend 50 percent of the amounts it receives from the sale of resident and nonresident two-day sports fishing licenses and all moneys it receives from the sale of Great Lakes trout and salmon stamps to fund the trout and salmon rearing and stocking program for outlying waters and to administer the issuance of Great Lakes trout and salmon stamps.
