Default Re: Fishing license questions

Unless you fish naked, there's always a place to pin your license.That's why they sell those license holders. I wear mine on my vest when I'm trout fishing. I was checked by a CO a few years back on the Flatbrook. He read my license from 20 feet away. It turns out, he was a good friend of my uncle. Once he saw my name he knew exactly who I was and we talked for about 15 minutes before he had to leave. I also saw a squad of CO's get out of their cars on the Musky and walk both banks. The only people they questioned were the ones without a visible license. It didn't take them long to move on and check other places. This allowed them to cover more miles and check more fishermen which is a good thing. Try hunting without a visible license! Try driving your car without license plates! Do you have registration numbers on your boat? Do you go through airport security? Do the security people wear ID badges? What's the differenc?
