New Licenses

[Tyler Holm]

It’s nearly that time of year again. I’m pretty sure I’m going to grab the lifetime fishing license this season. That’s going to run $383, but worth it in the long run.

Other’s that relate to fishing that you might need

Angling, Individual (age 16 and older) - $17.00

Angling, Combination (husband and wife) - 25.00

Sports, Individual - 29.50

Sports, Combination (husband and wife)2 38.50

Trout and Salmon Stamp - 10.00

Fish House or Dark House - 11.50

Just a friendly reminder that our 2006 license expire in 14 days.

Does anybody when we can purchase our 07 licenses? Before March 1?

[Meaney]

Thanks for the information..

[DzNuts]

Does the lifetime license come with the trout stamp?

[Down Deep]

No you have to buy the stamp.

[Rugbyguy]

All 2007 angling licenses should be available for purchase on Sunday 2/18, maybe even by the end of this week.

The cost of a lifetime license varies by age

age 3 or under $227 (pays to get one early if you know they will live in MN their whole life)

age 4 - 15 $300

age 16 - 50 $383

age 51 and over $203

Another bonus to the lifetime license is they are valid even if you move out of MN. Resident or not, you'll never need to purchase the license again.

we just got the 07 download yesterday at work. so the 07s should be good to go. only problem is the reliabuility of the equipment. it always seems to malfunction when there is a line of peo0le that want to get new ones or customers that just want to check out athe other stuff they might have. please be patient, know that the operators are doing their best, and maybe plan ahead a bit. dont get there needing it yesterday. that said. thank you. ... paul

for all you hunter and fisherman out there, there is a sportsman's lifetime liscense that saves you big time if you end up buying a small game every year and a fishing license. worth looking into check it out

Well, today is the last day we can fish with out 06 licenses so I think I'm going to try to squeeze every cent out of it. Well, actually I already have my 07 license as well, but I haven't gotten enought from my 06 quite yet.

Remember if your going to fish tomorrow, you'll need your 07 license. Don't forget to grab your shack license and a trout stamp. Again, support our local baitshops when buying a license. They don't make very much on license sales, but every little bit helps. I got mine from Hooked on Fishing in Rochester.

Andy - Remind to to put my new 07 dark shelter tag on my shack tonight.

[Meaney]

thanks for the reminder!

[DzNuts]

Spent my $40.50 last night.

Does the wife have to be present to purchase a combo license? Anyone?

[Dan Thiem]

Not when I bought ours. They just asked me height, eye color, and weight. Be careful not to be wrong on the last one.

[Bugman]

She does not have to be there for the purchase but she will have to sign everything before you go out. Each person is required to have their own stamp weather it for trout, phesant, or ducks. Good point Dan, I always guess low on the weight too.

[Tyler Holm]

If you have her license from last year, they can use her DNR # form that license. That's all I did. Now all she has to do is sign it.
