I'm prolly gonna head up to the BEC some time next week to freeze my large
ass off and to see if my casting skills have miraculously advanced from
"horrifically ****ty" to "mediocre" over the winter. Somehow, I doubt that
they have.

It sometimes happens all of a sudden like that. You might be surprised.

I just got my license with the special "Oh, yer from Illernoise, eh?"
added bonus on the price tag. $70 this year.

Ouch! Well, your money does some good work, anyway.

This is gonna be an expensive license year: Illinois, Tennessee (brother
moved to Nashville), Michigan, Curdistan, and prolly Minnie-ho-ho as well.

I heard somewhere that Wisconsin was going to be a "display your license"
state soon. Heard anything on that? When I bought my license the other
day, the guy at Gander Mountain was (surprise!) clueless.

I haven't heard anything about it either. I think it's a good idea myself.
Not that I think it makes any real difference in enforcement, but once
accustomed to pinning it the back of the vest, one never needs to worry
about where the damned thing is anymore.

On second thought, it might make just a wee bit of difference in
enforcement. I was once fishing in the Wisconsin river with a friend. We
were wading about fifty yards off shore when a warden came up on the bank
and asked us whether or not we had licenses. Yep, we replied. He asked us
to hold them up. So, we fished them out and held them up. At that range any
bit of pale blue (I think it was blue that year) paper would have done. All
one will have to do now is keep a stock of variously colored bits of paper
in that pin-on license holder.......and stay well aware from
shore......um.....and open water deep enough for an outboard motor, I guess.
