It certainly doesn't hurt wild trout stocks either by providing better choices and better fishing for stocked trout. From my own experience, I spend additional time at a particular stocked "quality" lake or two over the past two years where I normally would have spent chasing down wild trout. I'm sure I'm not the only one on here.
If increasing license fees help for better choices, I'm all for it. There was a posting on here showing the breakdown of ACA. That helped. Looking for link...
