Expensive nothing
My local river fishes best in January, most years. This year it was a
raging torrent and I never even bought a license. Last friday, my buddy with a fly shop told me the water had just been dropped. I drove the 7miles down there and sure enough, it looked low enough to drift and expect to catch some fish. So I went and spent the $45+ to get a license. I don't go out on weekends (anti-social tendencies ), unless forced to, but I packed and planned a float for Monday. Starting Sunday night and into Monday it rained hard again, too hard to want to go out fishing. Today the river is back at 4 times the flow that I consider fishable .... hope Arnold can find a good use for my money. |

Don't the funds from your license go to the Game and Fish Department? Isn't this a good thing? So now you're not going to fish anywhere in CA for the rest of the year? Willi |

I don't begrudge the money, just a little bummed out about missing the only time of the year that I fish in California. I may fish in the state later, but probably not ... I fished three days in this state last year. Didn't mean to come off as a big grump ... just a natural consequence of being one G |

Gawd, (that's for you, Wolfie ;-), am I stupid !! As it was printing out on the printer I thought, what's with that big *05* ? Anyway, too late now, did I say, Gawd, am I stupid ? -- Ken Fortenberry |

Call the folks issuing the license within 24 hours Yeah, what the hell. I was gonna go fishing between now and the end of March anyway, so may as well do it in Wisconsin, now that I have the license and all. The plan was to fish in Minnesota this time, but stupidity rules ... so me and the hound will fish Wisconsin. It's not what I intended, but what the hell ... what's done is done and what's bought is bought. My eyes will be healed enough to get their final prescription on the 14th. I plan to be fishing soon, very soon, thereafter. -- Ken Fortenberry |
