[quote FishingLunatic]So in other words we all stay making the same amount of money but have to put up with gas prices increasing and they can increase it cause of that?
Everything has gone up for us but we still find a way to go fishing. Its called problem solving...stock fewer trips but with more fish,etc.
Lol most of the issues you're talking about they had to deal with in the past and were accounted for with the money coming from licenses. Plus With how many people fish, a 50 cent increase in price would more than cover the costs of fuel/whatever went up. 8$ is totally b.s.[/quote]
I'm not following your path of logic here. As the cost of living rises, so must all things associated.
Where are you getting your numbers from? Are you just making assumptions and following them up with bold statements you are presenting as fact?
Anyone know the last time DWR raised license fees previously?
An $8 fee raise for an already low fishing license fee is a pittance. Lets go over what I paid to Arizona this past fall. I couldn't imagine if those of you complaining had to buy your fishing license($23.50), Trout Stamp($15.50), Urban fishing access($18.50), 2nd Pole stamp($4). Now mind you the $61.50 you've just forked out does not give you permission to fish on the Indian Reservations ($9/day) where the majority of the good trout waters reside.
I'd take $34 all day long.
