I wasnt going to but one until spring if at all.

After going out twice on the ice I figure I will probably going out a lot more so it WAS worth not losing my gear or getting a fine just to buy one.

I usually fish small ponds and lakes where I have never seen any guys patrolling for unlicensed anglers.

Besides picking it up now for ice fishing, I at time fish at some state parks which years back I WAS stopped.

$40 is just stupid but, I think in the long run it is worth it especially if you fish often and fish rivers and lakes where they are out patrolling.

For those who do not buy one this year, I hope you all get stopped and fined!!!!
Jk hopefully none of you do and maybe if enough people dont buy a license the price will go down.
