Default Sick of the license BS

I have a season license in my home state.

On a recent multi-state trip, I again and again found that to dip my
line in the stream behind my hotel (catch and release) for the two
hours I would be there I had to buy a 3-day non-resident license with
salmon stamp for $25-$35. Needless to say, I took my chances. After
all, I have never been approached for a license check in 40 years of
fishing.

I don't need to buy a non-resident driving license as I travel around
this country and I shouldn't have to buy a local fishing license
either. A resident season license in any state should suffice.

At most, a state should ask that you buy a daily sticker for a
reasonable additional fee, like $2. These stickers could be dispensed
by machine.

Well, sometime when you're not too busy, why don't you just take over the
world. I'm sure we'll all be much happier.

That's it ? I mean some fool troll comes in here boasting
of poaching and that's all the ire roff can muster ?

I guess this marks the official end of the "cabin fever"
season. ;-)

Well, he didn't say if he was a catch and release* poacher, or a dry fly
only, poacher....

Hell, he didn't even say if he was a Spey side only scotch drinker, poacher,
or if he drank that Island swill too, while poaching.

* I take his posting to mean the water was C & R, not that he necessarily
practiced C & R poaching.
