Lifetime license and trout permit decision ===

Not much of a response so far.
I am sick and tired of seniors getting these government hand outs. Discounted coffee at mcdonalds, free bus passes, free trout stamps etc.... whats next free medical insurance ? free viagara passed out at the nursing homes ?

i say put em on a ice flow and shove them out on the lake.

Arrrgh......... That would be discrimination in me journals. If thems that purchase after 2015 have to anti-up so then those a-buying afore the year, pay the price. I'm a callin' me law maker. Hoist me anchor and set the sails.

ps. @NotherOne; eat your heart out dude. In time you'll be there. Har-har-harrrr!!

I think the stamps should be eliminated period. The fish commission said the stamp would be temporary for Erie. Betcha if people quit buying them the commissioners would back up and regroup.

There in, lies the problem with the trout stamps. If a person does not purchase such a stamp then that person is forbidden to fish certain waters regardless of the type of fish they seek. Many inland waters of PA. is limited to those that hold a stamp just because the water is stocked with trout. Many of the waters stocked with trout do not and never have supported the fish. If allowed to continue, the fish commission will have every stream and most lakes listed as trout waters. This is nothing more then a way for the fish commission to raise revenues without getting legislative permission. What's to stop the requirement of bass, pike, musky and, walleye stamps in the near future? PA. anglers is what.

for those not on the lifetime license/stamp program, the trout stamp costs 2.6 cents per day.
 
the fish commission hasn't raised the license fee for years and we're complaining about an extra $10 to be able to fish any waters we want (an extra $10 for erie).
