Just another of those nice little surprises we Minnesotans keep in store for Iowans.

Good luck, and spend lots of money.

Just so you know, the licenses expire on the 28th of Feb. as do angling licenses.

Hey Niteeye,
You don't have to put your name address on
your fish house, but you do have to put your
drivers license number on it for identification purposes.

Yes, you are going to need to get a license. All shelters require a license now whether you fish from them or not. The license isn't too expensive. Something around $8.00 or so. That might not be the exact amount. Most baitshops should carry license's.
Good Fishing, Matt.

The resident license is $12.50. The nonresident license is $34.00 (year) and $20.00 (7-day). The fee for nonlicensed shelter is $40. Plus, you must post your name and address on your shelter.
Good fishing...

Freewheeler: Maybe you have some info other than what I have gotten. I emailed DNR regarding name and address on a portable that is packed up and taken with me every time I fish. They repsonded that no matter portable or permanent name, address, or Drivers Licence # has to be displayed on all houses. I'm still trying to figure out if I want to stencil this one or make a piece of cardboard that can be removed every time I fold up the canvas.

the local game warden just visited me , this is what he said I could do, just put your drivers license number above your door in black majic marker, take the id tag from the license and stick it on your zipper pull for the door, like a deer tag, that's it, it's simple.

If you are going to URL, make sure you have your portable license before you get there, they told us they didn't sell them locally and it was 45 minutes to the closest dealer.
We caught fish...but it was cold (windy).

Depending on your route, Bemidji is the last decent-sized city, about an hour south of Waskish on Upper Red. Kobilka's Sporting Goods is a good place to get that license. There are others, but K's has about everything and isn't too far off the beaten path. Also, there's a giant C-store truck stop at the intersection of Highways 71 and 2 that says it has fishing licenses. That's right on your route, probably. Your shelter license will be good through the end of February next year. Hope the 34 extra smacks is worth it, but it makes a great excuse to keep coming back to URL.

Hey Bill I put my DL# on a piece of paper and lamenated it (8x11) put hole punches in the corner and safety pin it to my portable. That way if you get rid of the house you don't have to redo every thing. Also the license sticks real well.
