Senior Fishing License

That's nice, Bob, but not everyone can afford the outrageous prices non-residents are charged...we, for two. There are very few states that don't have a fishing license requirement and personally, I think the states would be glad to get the lower rate (and I seriously doubt any other rates would have to go up) rather than no rate at all.

You are going to have a hard time convincing people you can afford to travel to the state, yet can't afford the fishing license. I know in Montana all the license fees stay with the Fish and Wildlife department to administer their programs that include things like fishing accesses and hunting accesses and well as funding for the game wardens who protect those fish and animals from poachers so they are there for everyone to enjoy. Like another person said, if you cut the revenue from license fees they either have to get it from someplace else or services get cut. At least a license fee is linked directly to the activity the funds support. I like that.
