$5.00 license for fly fishermen - 04/01/02 02:40 PM

Read in the newspaper today that there's a cheaper fishing license available from DFWG.
Say if you sign an agreement to agree to only angle for trout with fly gear that the license
cost is only $5.00.

It remains the regular price for lure and bait fishermen.

There was also discussion of letting the fly fishermen have preferential treatment for parking
too.

Is this another April Fool's joke? Sounds great, but I don't see it happening.

This is another thing to the 5.00 thing. In 3 more years my license will only cost 5.00 being that I'm an old man. 70 and older cost is 5.00.

Just another grouchy old man. :p

I figure every site needs an April Fools joke. Guess Mike did too.

I'll mosey over to Big 5 tomorrow to buy my license and tell them that I should get it for $5. See if they bite on it.

Andy,

I'll be spending about the same, what with big game with deer, bear and cougar and small game with an extra turkey tag and the combined salt/freshwater fishing.

Headed out turkey hunting in two weeks.
