The original stocking of Florida strain largemouth bass took place in 1985 and was paid for by federal funds. These same federal funds are what paid for the "old" boat ramp(1985ish) and also the "new" boat ramps(previous access was through the rollers located on the bell city ditch and the lacassine bayou perimeter levees). These improvements were and have been made to promote the use of the refuge as a fishery. The stockings done by Castille were part of an agreement he had to show that the fisherman were "giving back" to the fishery. So, don't for one second, think that the "Sole" purpose of this impoundment is for ducks...Thats the EXCUSE they use for doing W T F they want to do. If you don't believe me- go back and do a little research on where the funding for the ramps and the original florida strain stocking came from.
