My back is worse than ever but even though I fear my fishing will be limited, or perhaps none at all, I still bought my license with trout/salmon stamp. As a youth I was always thankful for having a place to fish and fish to catch. That would never have happened without folks buying their licenses. Considering that those fees go towards our public fishing areas, conservation, stocking, youth programs and so much more I think it is $32 dollars well spent. I think we should look at these fees as an investment into to the future rather than a burden.

Do any of you think of the fishing and hunting license fees as an investment in protecting, conserving our natural wild resources? To me that really helps soften the blow of the fees.


....and who knows perhaps.....with a little good fortune.....I just might be able to go fishing.
