Thats good just wanted to know because a friend needs a loan for a license. Though all in all not that bad of a price with the hike. Last month I was out in cali and NV visting family and friends and was sticker shocked at the prices now. Ca 1 day was $16$ And 120.00 for a year non res. , $44.00 yearly res. I usualy get the yearly out there but my ca id exp. had to renew for next 5 years of visiting. No U would not have to file Bank rupt unless u have fished the way i have in the past ten years. example in a year. Buy your res lec.for mn going to TX so much on job get a yearly non res. lic. , visit Cali 2 to 3 times a year buying yearly , getting a few days of in FL. and the getting 1 to 3 day lic.s in MA, MI,WI,AR,LA.MT,GA,MS,NY,PA,SC,AZ,NV,KS,NE,ND,SD,CO,WA,AL.WV,TN,IL,OK,UT, Not all but many in same year and rest in the next or so. and the rest. But for those of U who are worrying about B.R. or a a lack of cents, heres a little something most MN anglers dont know<< > If your Not Big on eating or showing Off a lot of fish U dont need to pay full price for a yearly license. I do anyway but may change that. I love to fish but not eat that many so CPR for me. I forget what its called but my GF gets 1 every year. Where we pay 18.00 she pays 12.00$ The 18 means u can keep the full limit, an 12.00 a half limit. So for those in hard times there it is. This year I will only need MN an ND lic.s Goin to the Oil Patch crygrin2ccool

I'm guessing it will be next year since they haven't announced it yet for this year and not enough time to change it now.

Wow that is a lot of states that you fish, Dragon Fish II!

Btw I was being sarcastic about the bankruptcy smile. Just poking fun at the people up in arms about a license increase of a few bucks

This hasn't passed into law yet. The bill originally was rolled into the Omnibus game and fish bill, but the license fees increases were removed. The Senate just passed an amended version of the bill that includes the license fee increases, so now this has to go back to the House and they have to vote on the changed bill. If it passes the house, and the governor signs it, the license fees portion will go into effect March 1, 2013.

I agree. It is going toward the DNR and to help stocking programs, etc. I would easily pay $25.00 for a full year.

Thanks for the update. I am all for an increase.

-1.

See the IAS thread about the current bill to take $500,000 out of the DNR into the general fund. At least it's earmarked for IAS funding.

It's always a shell game.

The lottery proceeds? Pfft, gone.

The LOH fund, still there but they defund the DNR to offset the increases from the LOH fund.

The license increase, gone before it hit the books. crazy

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
