Your 2007 license is good through Feb. 29, 2008. New 2008 reg's for fishing licenses are for 14 months from March to April 30th, 2009 on page 5 or 2008 Minnesota Fishing 2008 Regulations.

My 2007 license says it expires on February 29,2008, as well.Are you sure you read it right off of the DNR website? I just read part of the 2008 regulations book, and it does read that 2008 licenses will be good until April 30,2009.That could be an expensive mistake if the dates are misinterpreted.Anyone else want to verify the real deal here?

Yeah, rockman, check out my link to the DNR site on page 1 of this thread. It came straight from their site.

polar, I checked out the link.It does say that on the linked page. I then checked the DNR's online copy of the 2007 regulations book, and that says the 2007 license expires on February 29. Someone,if not myself, needs to email the DNR to get this clarified.

It's 2008 the online 2007 regulations book was put together in 2006.

The DNR won't go back and change any of that.

pierbridge,what exactly are you telling me? I went to the general fishing page of the DNR's website, and clicked on the link to the pdf copy of the 2007 regulations.The regulations online are indentical to the printed book,except for a few revised new changes to the regs, and that book states, once again, the 2007 license expires on February 29th.If I missed the revisions in that pdf copy of the regs.book that is online,can someone provide a link to where the DNR amended the regs to extend the license period of the 2007 license until April 29th? In any event, I will call the DNR tomorrow to clarify this.

It is not in the 2007 reg book. It is in the DNR FAQ. I printed out a copy to carry with me just in case.

We could probably all not worry about it too much buy purchasing our license on March 1st, it is something we need to do sometime in the next couple months anyway. We know that those ones will be good until the end of Arpil in 09. Only problem with this scenario is that we need to find a place selling licenses early as Cool Cats is on March 1st.

The 2007 season goes until 2/29/08. the 2008 season begins March 1. NEW this season is that a fishing license is valid for 14 months (from page 5 of the 2008 regulations)

So the information on the FAQ link is correct. Legislature then applied it to current license as well. This is so you don't have to by a new license before the ice season is done.

good luck all....

I am coming up from Alabama 28 Feb - 7 March and knew about the law which had fishing licenses expire on 29 Feb, so I called the DNR directly and they told me the 2007 licenses are good through 30 April 08. They also directed me to the same FAQ link on their site to verify.

Just got off the phone with the DNR. Your 2007 license is good until April 30th, 2008.

If you think about it it just makes sense to change the expiration date. Now you don't have to buy a new license to finish out the hard water season.

Ok, I emailed the DNR and here is the reply that I recived from Kevin Kyle at the DNR:

The 2007 license you have now is valid thru April 30th. The 2008 licenses go on sale in late Feb and will be valid from March 1st, 2008 thru April 30th 2009. Either license will be valid until thru the end of April. The 2007 license thru April 30th, 2008, the 2008 license will be valid thru April 30th, 2009. New this year, the license will be valid for 14 months, March 1st thru the following April 30th, Kevin

This was my question

>>> "680-cell" <[email protected]> 2/12/2008 5:37 AM >>>

To whom it may concern: I have found a major confusion in the interpretation of how long the 2007 fishing license is valid. On the license is says that it expires February 29 2008 and in the FAQ portion of the MN DNR website it states: How long is my 2007 fishing license good? 2007 fishing licenses are good until April 30, 2008. There seems to be a lot of confusion and controversy over this. Can this be verified to be correct? How can this be done? Thank you very much for any help.

I got it,Pierbridge! grin.gifgrin.gif I called the DNR the next day and the nice lady I talked to said it was changed as of last July.She answered the inquiry in a way as if I was supposed to know this by osmosis, or something.Oh well.At least the DNR could of revised the front webpage so it isn't so difficult to find this FAQ for some of us.

Sweet!.... I'm suprised we got pretty much all the same answers from the phone calls and E-mails to the DNR normally there would have been at least different versions to choose from. grin.gif

Just kidding the DNR does a great job overall!

      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. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      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

      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!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
