Post by: SethV on April 01, 2008, 12:09:59 PM
Just a reminder - the 2007 licences just expired.  You can get your Michigan licences on line:

I always get my license online because I can print as many licenses as I want. I usually run enough to keep one in my truck, one in the boat, one in my wallet and a couple of spares besides. Saves having to worry about getting them wet etc.

I got my Michigan last week while I was in my local Meijer store.  In the next month I will be making a trip out to St. Clair Shores and Lakeside Tackle to purchase my Ontario and Walpole Licenses.  Ontario will run around $65 and Walpole was $40 last year.  So for $105 I can fish anywhere in these regions.  I bought the "All Species" for Michigan.  Usually throughout the summer I end up purchasing Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana depending where I go.  Licenses usually end up costing me around $200 or more a year.  But its nothing if you have a love for our great sport.

I always laminate a copy of all of them and keep them in my tackle box with the originals in my wallett.

You can print as many originals as you like if you buy them online.

You can get your Canadien over the phone. 1-800-667-1940  They tell you it will take 4 weeks or so. But if you get it in February mine always comes in less than a week.

I always had gotten the Canadian license from Lakesidefishingshop.com and this year they went up to $75.00 and the Walpole is $42.00. Is that their price now or did tha Canadians raise their fee?

The 2008 non-resident Ontario full fishing license is listed as ~$66.00 Canadian including GST if you buy it from the MNR. Not sure what the exchange rate is at the moment.
