POLL-12 yr olds shouldn't pay license fees

[fsh4fun05]

It all comes down to money. I'd like to see the extra revenue put into youth based programs instead of a general fund but that's just silly [mad]. A fishing license is not a bad thing, in a small way it teaches responsibility. If a 12 year old can tote a high powered rifle around the mountains during the rifle hunt than certainly he's old enough to have a fishing license.
I think the dwr did make it easier for those who love to fish. You can bet your tenderfoot there were those who wanted to charge the full price for a fishing license.
