Fisherman Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 That's the whole kit and caboodle. Looking for something specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 That's the whole kit and caboodle. Looking for something specific?Me, no, but I do move between zones often so why not share? I'm a zone 15, 16, 17 & 20 person so why not share the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Should be a short test required to get your fishing license...And everyone gets a paper copy...Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I vote for real Boating test. I don't support a fishing test. I fish in primarily 1 zone. Should I know the slot limit for a zone I will never fish in. If I do go outside my main area then it's up to me to brush up on that zones regs, otherwise I don't need to know.

DanD Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 When I'm in an area that is new to me, I put a memo in my phone with the slot sizes and limits. Before the phone I'd type out the regs for an area or take the page(s) from the summery that I need; have them laminated and tossed in the boat. Dan.

Dara Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 What kind of test Pigeontroller. What is important enough to you that we would have to sit through an exam to go fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanD Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 why not just toss the whole book in your boat? that way you never have to worry about forgetting to bring it with you Do you know how long paper lasts in an open boat.

Beans Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks for posting this...I noticed that they changed their minds about making us seniors (65+)buy a license... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCranksalot Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think it would be a good idea to pin the regs to the top of the board---maybe in the 'extra resources' section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 i think in the past there was a notice of any changes...did any happen this year or am i missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshtrax Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Crazy, Atlantic Salmons are open for catch and release? Lol like someone's gonna go target them in zone 20 . Don't get me started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted December 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 i think in the past there was a notice of any changes...did any happen this year or am i missing something?That all depends on where you are. This is why I tried to be helpful and post the whole thing. Some areas don't change but this way you can now look at it to confirm. I only shared it because in the past people have posted things like "anyone have the new reg's because..." so there it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeontroller Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Many anglers are completely ignorant of seasons, species, and don't know how to interpret the regs. An example is the exceptions and how often anglers do not realize they have to check them for the FMZ they are fishing in. You have to pass a test to hunt Turkey's, are they more important than Steelhead? Muskie? Walleye?

You have to pass a test to hunt Turkey's, are they more important than Steelhead? Muskie? Walleye? I have never pulled out the shotgun or bow to go fishing.....apples to oranges. A test to fish? Riiiiiiiight!! Next will be a test on musky release and proper tools to fish musky??? LOL Thanks for sharing the regs.... S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to pass a test to hunt Turkey's, are they more important than Steelhead? Muskie? Walleye? Those type of anglers really don't hurt anything. They never catch Muskie or steelheads They will be targeting sunfish from a dock with the kids or netting during a pink salmon run. No need to burden us all with a test for something like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Even guys that call themselves fisherman can't figure out the exceptions, how many threads have we had on here about that? lol! I usually have a PDF copy of all the zones I'm fishing on my phone, makes it easy (Although for the 4-5 zones I fish I've got them memorized (Not like I'm keeping a lot of fish anyhow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 whats a zone...I thought they were districts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister G Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I figure since I no longer bother to purchase a license, why bother with silly restrictions they keep coming up with. Catch a fish, eat the fish.......can't get simpler then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
