There is a solution. Seeing as how Vt. is trying to make life easy for the summer tourist and acknowledging that the "tourist" is generally lazy and insistent on catching fish, I suggest that they stock the bathtubs of each of the inns in the Battenkill area and leave the river alone.

The Battenkill is not famous for its stocked supply of fish, but rather for its large fish and dificult fish. Lets keep it that way.
