On December 10, 2009 the fish and game commision removed the requirement that we "DISPLAY" our fishing licenses while fishing...woo hoo...just keep it in your wallet or tackle box....this works for me.This starts in March of 2010...

Oh boy, now everyone that didn't buy their license doesn't have to worry. Sure makes writting ticket easier.

I agree. This wear requirement just helped the fish and game wardens do their job and really is not a problem for law abiding citizens. Now the few fish and game wardens we have to individually check everyone meaning that license laws will be enforced less. I would have rather had them not increase the cost of the license than doing this....Oh boy, now everyone that didn't buy their license doesn't have to worry. Sure makes writting ticket easier.

I wonder why they did this? While I always forgot to display it anyway, I can see why it was required. In areas where a lot of people fish, made for checking licenses a lot quicker. Where I fish you never see another person, let alone a warden, lol. It just seems strange that F&G did this, and I'm curious to the reasoning.Added-I completely agree with the idea of them NOT increasing the cost of a license, rather than doing this.

One reason they did it is to make them check the license for the stamps ,2nd pole ect. It also gives them an excuse to check you out up close.And lots of fishermen complaints. Did not bother me to have it showing. I been checked for a fishing license buy more sheriff and highway patrole than game wardens. and they make you take it out of the plastic thingy.

You can look to Tom Raftican for the answer to this. It became his big pet project to secure funding for his new organization after getting bounced outta UASC. Personally I have no use for this guy. http://www.saltwater...ense-initiative

I have never even heard of this Tom Raftican, but I sure do agree with him. The idea of hanging something around your neck, or clipped to a hat or shirt is just plain foolish. I can take a piece of paper and hang it there and is that going to keep the Warden from checking my license? If so, that is really foolish. So, if he has to come and check anyway, why have it clipped on where it can easily be lost, or as said on Raftican's site, left on a different garment. I hate at rule and am very glad they are doing away with it.

My fishing license has always stayed in my wallet and even when aproached by wardens they had no problem with me not having it displayed.

Just for jiggles.... I am going to display mine anyways. I never fish with two poles and most of the time I never need stamps to fish in the Calif Aquaduct. If it save the warden a trip... good for me. Now lets hope I catch more fish. Have you noticed the amount of small mouth bass in the Aquaduct ? That is great news.

Everytime I have been checked they asked me to take the licence out of the plastic and provide a picture ID. Ive been checked everywhere, shore, boat, lakes, delta. Ive had my fish counted, stamps checked the works.

Well, here on the Delta, I dont bother to fish anymore.. They are pumping soo much of our fresh water down to So Cal, that the brackish water is now taking over. Hardley any catfish and black bass in the front of our house. We even have Sea lions coming in ! LOL They can stuff their licenses!

I never thought this time would come. I have always been the one to forget my license at home after driving an hour to fish.
