well i guess this makes it official we are a dyeing breed. the virginia dept of game is going state wide having public meetings asking what to do to get the younger people intrested in fishing. the bottom line here is they or loosing a lot of money yearly because not many fishing licence or sold. our trout stocking has got to improve but thats just a small part of it. the younger generation just not intrested in fishing or hunting or playing golf. some golf courses have closed because old members dyeing out and no new ones signing up. i did not attend but talk to some folks who did and i am not surprized that the average age of a person who buys a fishing licence is 48 years old. i guess this is the bad part about computers and cell phones and video games. i could go on and on about what was discused on how to fix the problem, and all i will say is you guys out there between the age of 17 and 40 you don't know how much fun your missing out on. you dad's that have kids under 17 take them fishing and hunting when you can. i always said there only one thing i would rather do than eat and that is fish.
