Their net input to the economy is sweet f-a. That is their right of course, but you have to admit that they get to take advantage of all us working b*ggers who pay tax to allow them such freedoms. Hitting them with a little extra on the license just makes me feel so much better that i have to work while they;re fishing!!!!

Quite the opposite , As it is now most don`t bother , so increasing the cost wouldn`t help . Most familiies who visit here are on a budget so spending extra hundreds of dollars on licensing for Mum , Dad and thier kid/kids to catch some trout on thier travels just would be financially possible . At most we would get a $20 day license from them . We need to encourage more tourists` to take up trout fishing , not discourage them !!! |
