I just bought my new 2006 Colorado license today. The total cost of the base fishing license has gone from $20.50 to $31.00!!!!

There was a $5.00 increase in the base license fee. That's 25%!!! Plus they added on a Habitat stamp for $5.00 and a Wildlife Education Fund surcharge of $0.75.

I like the fact that Hunters and Fishers pay thier own way, but I feel this is a bit much for a one year increase.

How do you folks feel? Is it to much or am I overreacting (it's been known to happen... a lot).
