In 1937, the first commissioners of the Department of Conservation decided that trout anglers should pay their own way because trout are not native to Missouri and are expensive to produce. Money from the sale of daily tags and trout permits helps balance the cost of raising trout, and each year about a half million daily tags and annual trout permits are purchased statewide. All anglers support fisheries management through fishing-related purchases. The Sport Fish Restoration Act places a federal tax on fishing equipment and boat fuel, and the Missouri Conservation Sales Tax, approved by voters in 1976, is a 1/8 of one-percent general sales tax dedicated to funding statewide conservation efforts. Funds from the Sport Fish Restoration Act and the Missouri Conservation Sales Tax pay for kids' fishing programs, Stream Team volunteer workshops, fish hatcheries, and fisheries management. Missouri Department of Conservation trout hatcheries are Roaring River Hatchery at Roaring River State Park, Shepherd of the Hills Hatchery in Branson, Bennett Spring Hatchery at Bennett Spring State Park, Montauk Hatchery at Montauk State Park, and Maramec Spring Hatchery at Maramec Spring Park, with cooperative partners including the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and The James Foundation.
