I agree that withholding your license money from the state won't make a positive difference. Quite the opposite, I think it will hurt us in the long run. And fishing is fun.

I plan to buy a fishing license in two States, including Washington, and maybe as many as four States. Plus one for BC. And one for Argentina. Don't need one for Hawaii which is pretty cool considering the amount of great opportunities to be had.

I plan to use my Washington license and punch cards and endorsements and discover pass and whatever the fu.ck else quite extensively. My punch cards will be full. I never have any doubt if I got my $ worth out of the license so I'm more than happy to buy one.


If I was a guy that hardly ever goes fishing, but regularly bitches, I could see not buying one. I will enjoy not seeing those guys on the river.
