Fishing Report, Rich?

You seem to have more than your share your share of problematic encounters with
license issuance clerks. The last one i recall was the one at Niagara and
muskie fishing.

Ah yes. Officer Chapped Buttcheeks. I remember him well. He was soooo
despondent when the Conservation Officer told him he was dead wrong.

In this case, our problems were related to you favorite place -- Walmart --
not the license issuing authority.

As to me experiencing "more than your share your share(sic) of problematic
encounters with license issuance clerks" bear in mind that for the past 30
years I've gotten licenses in anywhere from 4 to 12 states/provinces
annually. Encountering one complete blithering idiot in the employ of the
Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and a couple rather slow clerks at
Walmart (which should come as a surprise to no-one) I can't recall ever
having much trouble.

Another reason why I like to purchase my license online whenever possible.

On-line license isn't bad, but soemtimes you can't get the stamps you need
like shared usage for interstate waters.

Never really had a problem getting a license..well that is unless you count
Wisconsin, but after the blood test and rectal exam filling out the require
32 page form in triplicate wasn't that bad. I kept last years license for
the trip out this year. I hate needles..... : )

I know where the clerk got tripped up. With a conservation license there is a
zero catch and possession limit. Catch means to catch and keep and not catch
and immediately release live. He interpreted it to mean you couldn't fish for
muskie with such a license. Having such a license is useless if you tie into a
world record or accidentley kill the fish. Remember you can't let a fish go to
spoil. The CO should have explained that to you and possibly encouraged you to
get a sportsman license for a few dollars more. That license allows you to keep
one muskie which solves the problem. Most muskie fisherman go for the sportsman
license for that very reason. The extra dollars go into fishery operations.
I know a muskie angler that also swears that you can't fish with the
conservation license for muskie.
