2007 Fishing Licenses On Sale Now

[JackM]

As I usually remind everyone, the 2007 Fishing License goes on sale December 1 (today), the year before. You can get one early and replace your 2006 license since the new one is valid immediately.

I just bought my License on line it was real simple no lines or annoying people plus I printed 3 in case I loose 2 . I would deffinetly recommend getting your license online int:

Fredrick - don’t let Maurice find out about you printing “extra” licenses………he’ll chew your head off like a when a big brown trout attacks a wounded creek chub! I think he gets cut from the PFBC for lost license fees paid.

Anyone provide insight on the situation with those neat trout stamps? I did the on-line thing one year, but liked the idea of having a nice shiny stickum stamp, so I've been doing the old fashioned way since.

Oops, Did I type what I was thinking again, sorry If I took some of your cut Maurice .If it makes you feel better I paid for two last year because those License holders never hold up....... :lol:

Lestrout - I don’t know for sure, but my best guess is that the “nice shiny stickum” trout stamps will be a thing of the past come this spring. My understanding is that your driver’s license is scanned, and your fishing license with all your info, is printed out on the spot. I doubt that the trout stamp will be affixed afterwards. Perhaps the manual system with stamps will be still available for those who do not have a driver's license. You can call the PFBC to find out for sure.

The system is a definite leap forward. The PFBC will have a electronic listing of all license buyers. Verification of a valid license will be very simple. I would hope that WCOs will have laptops, and have the capability to verify a license without having a fisherman mail in their license for verification.

Maurice is surely in the loop with this license info, maybe he can tell us.

if this is true then hopefully they will have a way of verifying people who buy the trout stamp. when you lose your license, if you keep the afixed recipt you can get a new license at no cost. but you have to rebuy the trout stamp. now maybe you wont have to. :-D

Afish,

You need to work on your comprehension skills...I was the one to first state that I print more than one in response to some posters 'chicken little" rant about it being fraud.

I think I even mentioned the part about him getting a cut.

...for the record.

I can vouch for Maurice.

I don't recall the whole blow up over multiple printings. But if it involves saving money or gettin' somethin' for nuttin', chances are, Maurice is on it.
