@TnRiver46 GRTU donates $2500 annually to TPWD for endemic Guadalupe Bass Restoration initiative (hatchery).  Outside the hatcheries, only 2 A-strains remain in the wild, one creek headwater isolated by a waterfall, the second by aquifer recharge (the creek disappears into the ground). 

The very fish endangered by genetic pollution from smallmouth bass stocked by TPWD in the '70s and '80s.  The Blanco River strain is extinct. 

smallie hybrid on the right, the big hen, from the same plunge pool, appears to be all-Guad. 

Hopefully tpwd uses it wisely, it’s a little swampy out this way

State treasuries often have the mind of the governor.  They just fixed that in TX a few years ago, allocated funds now have to be used where they were allocated.  In the days of Governor Hairdo, before his humorously unsuccessful presidential bid, road taxes went to education, fishing licenses went to roads, etc.
