If there was no fees, then there would be no conservation, and the poachers and other idiots would soon ruin it.

Here in TX you have to have a fishing license to fish but you must also but a freshwater stamp and a saltwater stamp depending on the water you wish to fish or both to have a valid fishing license. Is that not forcing you to buy a 2 licenses in order to fish? I know the proceeds for the stamps go to fund fish and wildlife projects but it does seem odd.

As everyone has a stake in the resource people are licenced to use it. The licencing fees go back and are used to manage the resource so that it will be sustainable. Some of the fees are used at government owned Fish Hatcheries to fund the work that they do to sustain our fishing. Some of the fees are used for developing or fixing fish habitat. The fees are also used to fund Gamewardens as they protect the fishery from misuse. Now you make a good point that people feed themselves with these fish all the time, and thats a valid point. But we all use the resource as it is common property and by having licencing fees it helps to sustain our fishery in the long run, as if we didn't have them it would be depleted as we tend to over harvest it anyway. The fish hatcheries are what really keep it going. Hope this helps You have a good question here and good points
