we have to get a special license to even concider targeting a stergeon. This year it was free so long as you have a current regular fishing license and has been in the past, but it is like a deer tag.
once caught you have 48 hours to report it to a reporting station...
also this year if you wanted a trout license you had to buy a regular fishing license.
30 years ago you had to have a regular fishing license and then you bought a trout stamp if you wanted to fish for trout and salmon.
then the went to a new system and if you did not fish for other species other than trout and salmon then you did not have to have a regular fishing license.
this year they changed the rules again so that you have to have both licenses if you want to target trout and salmon...
It is the constant changing of the rules that is getting every ones dander up.....
our rule book used to be printed on both sides of a ten inch by ten inch peice of paper, now it is written in 3 manuals 30-50 pages each...
