This is getting out of hand. With the state park pass increasing seemingly every year, are the ghouls in government just trying to turn a profit? Or are they trying to discourage fishing and other resource usage? Some of us poor folk will really have start looking at finding cheaper hobbies which will then affect license sales and retail sales and ultimately hurt an already declining participation rate in fishing. These things don't have much affect on local, affluent and sometimes arrogant power boaters, but a good number of fisherman aren't exactly financially well off. Maybe that's ultimately the plan. Discourage us dirty, smelly fisherman from using "their" lakes and reservoirs. We already experienced what Utah thinks of fisherman in the stream access case.
