Dear Chairperson:
At the February 1, 1994 Board of Supervisors Meeting, the Inyo
County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed and adopted the
enclosed Resolution No. 94-10. The Resolution opposes the
Department of Fish & Game's proposed twenty percent reduction in
the stocking level of fish planted in Region 5, which includes Inyo
County and the Eastern Sierra. Inyo County was subjected to a
twenty percent stocking level reduction in 1991-92, and we are
concerned that further cutbacks will damage the County's reputation
as a great fishery, thereby inhibiting the recovery of our tourist
based economy.
Inyo County is requesting your Board's support in opposing further
reductions and the maintaining of current stocking levels. We
encourage you to take a positive stand to protect the viable
resources of California and your County, and urge your Board to
adopt a similar resolution to be forwarded to the Department of
Fish & Game. We have included a listing of Department of Fish &
Game personnel for your information.
Very truly yours,
g
Robert W. Gracey, Chairma

RESOLUTION 94-10
OF INYO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
OPPOSING DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME
PROPOSED TWENTY PERCENT REDUCTION
IN CATCHABLE TROUT TO BE PLANTED IN THE EASTERN SIERRA
WHEREAS, Inyo County is a tourism based economy that depends heavily on the angler trade to sustain its
economy, and any change to the standard of fishing being offered would adversely effect the businesses of
Inyo County, such as motels, restaurants, gas stations, retail stores, and the campgrounds both privately
operated and those operated by the County of Inyo; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Fish & Game produces its revenue from the sales of fishing licenses, and a
1988 study released by Chico State University states that over 40%of all fishing in the State of California was
in the Eastern Sierras and Southern California. Further, the Department of Fish & Game figures indicate
that there has been a decrease of 1,200,000 fishing licenses sold in the past 10 years; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Fish& Game is proposing a Twenty percent reduction in catchable fish to be
planted in Inyo County; and
WHEREAS,Inyo County stocking levels were already reduced in excess of Twenty percent in 1991-1992,while
stocking levels throughout the rest of the state virtually remained the same; and
WHEREAS, another Twenty percent reduction would result in a Forty percent decrease in stocking levels of
catchable fish for Inyo County; and
WHEREAS, catchable size trout are the main source of fish caught in the Eastern Sierras, and any further
reduction.to_the number of fish planted in Inyo County-could cause a further decrease in the number of--
fishing
f--fishing licenses-sold-in the Eastern-Sierras; thereby further•eroding Fish and Game revenues; and
WHEREAS, a primary purpose of the Department of Fish and Game is to serve the angler and enhance and
protect the resources; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,that the Board of Supervisors for the County of Inyo strongly supports
no further reduction, and recommends maintaining 1992-1993 stocking levels for Inyo County; and further
urges the Department of Fish & Game to preserve current funding levels for the hatchery program so that
stocking levels will be maintained and improved, thereby preserving the goals of the Department of Fish &
Game to serve, enhance and protect.
