Yesterday at the Natural Resources Commission meeting in Lansing, science prevailed thanks to many, many persons who took the time to write in, and especially those who showed up to speak before the Commission on Commissioner Walters’ amendment to close bass fishing on the Inland Waterway and Black Lake from May 1 until the third Saturday in June.

I just realized that my fishing license expired at midnight. This is the first time I can remember being without a license. I'll have to go get an Ohio one today!!

Got my Michigan license midday April fools, er... first.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Same here Dan. One less thing to worry about.

I bought my all species license yesterday. $28.00.  Now somebody please take me walleye fishing!

How much is a Canadian yearly license? Non Resident.

According to my receipt from the Ministry of Natural Resources my seasonal conservation license cost me $48.16 mailed to my house here in Michigan. 

But that is the Conservation License and is not what a tx fisherman would want.  I just catch and release so it's no big deal to me.

Also, you have to have a Canadian Outdoors card (good for 3 years) and the cost of that is about $10.

Lakeside Tackle does it here in Mich.  info at:

"Non-Canadian resident fishing licences are also available through the mail by calling the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources at 1-800-667-1940." 

I bought mine a few weeks ago and it was in my mail box in six days.  They will tell you on the phone it takes about 4 weeks.  I'm sure it does at certain times of the year.


So much water.  So many lures.  So little time.

Try the Nautical Mile BP station for friendlier fast service at a usually better price.

If you have time, the toll-free phone call and mail seems to be the best deal.
