1726
. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that it is the
policy of the state to do all of the following:
(a) Establish and maintain wild trout stocks, that, to the extent
possible, should be native fish, in suitable waters of the state that
are readily accessible to the general public as well as in those
waters in remote areas.
(b) Establish angling regulations designed to maintain the wild
trout fishery in those waters by natural reproduction.
(c) Discourage artificial planting of hatchery-raised hybrid and
nonnative fish species in wild trout waters or in other areas that
would adversely affect native aquatic and nonaquatic species.
