Honestly i think its a stupid rule and i keep my fishing license in my wallet. Not every stranger needs to know my name and also if there's light rain my printed copy will get destroyed.
I hate a lot of things about how new jersey does things. The license i print should have been temporary while they send me a printed hard copy, possibly laminated, and maybe something thats the size of a business card so i can fit it in my wallet.

I don't sweetwater fish in NJ, solely salt. However I have fished freshwater in Pennsylvania for over 20 years. They have the same regulations with regards to displaying your license on an outer garment. I have always pinned it to the back of the shirt or jacket when I fished. Until one time, where I was checked by the same CO(DCNR in PA) at 3 different lakes within 6 hours. He refused to recognize me as the same person he checked prior. Even though there were only a few other fisherman at each lake and each time he made me supply my NJ driver license to prove I was the person the fishing license was issued to. Now, in complete compliance with the law, I pin my license on my back pants pocket so if they need to check they can bend over and look.
