Here in WA I have been very rarely checked. But the thing they seem to
focus on is the catch "card." If you don't have it on you its a fine
or at least pack it in time. WA 's licencing system reflects the Peter
Principle in spades. For one, it's not a card at all but a strip of
smear-able old fashioned (thermal?) adding machine tape. The combo
licence has multiple "pages" of various lengths, and a dysfunctional
car tag for special H&F campgrounds. I'll save you the rest.Just know
that some, apparently un-firable, jackass has put all kinds of effort
into making this the most jerkwater licence system Ive ever run into.

Barbs. I crimp em. And the lifetime supply of hooks Ive accumulated
means this cheapskate will be crimping for the duration. Catch on a
stocking? I think the origins of that story go back to Roderick Hague
Brown, the legendary B.C. fly fishing pioneer, judge, and Western
Canadian fishing writer.
