This year in MN therea was a $16 fee/license required for your fishouse to be towed on the lake to use for the duration of your stay. It used to be a license was needed only if it was left unattended. I believe (my opinion) is there are a greater number of fishouses whose wheel system and worth preclude leaving it on the ice unattended when with a push of a button it can be hauled back home. The state, out of jealousy or spite, cannot leave the money issue alone and added the fee. What, I ask, is the benefit of the added fee? Most people i talk to are not concerned and pay the 16 dollars just because.

Maybe the money goes back to manage the fishery?

The license to fish in the first place is supposed to go there. Now, even if you pulled your shack on the ice as a love nest to share with the old lady and didn't even 'wet your line' you still pay for the fishery.

Love wasn't free before this fee and it's just become a bit more expensive for the greatest show on ice.

Next year they'll probably charge an additional fee for the old lady to park the grocery getter on the public access while out enjoying the love nest.

If you can afford $10,000 to $30,000 for a fish house that you can park on the lake for the weekend.... Towed by your $70,000 truck. You can afford to pay $16.

Some Minnesotans can't resist the call to class warfare.

Maybe when senator groper resigns Minnesotans will elect more conservative candidates that won't try to get every penny they can. Your state is fairly liberal....someone has to pay for all that "free stuff." !

He has been replaced by another liberal as appointed by Governor goofy. I hold no hope that Republicans will run anyone outside of 6 degrees difference than Handsy Feanken. The beat goes on.

Just pay them and be quick about it. Fishing isn't a right, it's a privilege bestowed upon you by your Government.....


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

That's kind of your fault. If you southerners hadn't flocked to my lake, we'de still have a 14 fish limit up here .
