They are good until April 30th, but if you buy your license on March 1st like tradition, the 2008 license will be good until April 30th of 09. They made a switch to use a 14 month license, knowing that most of the people that fish on a regular basis, buy the license anually anyway, and wouldn't really be effected. What it does is gives a person that doesn't fish all the time, the last little bit of the ice season to decide if they want to do open water for the season. At least that is my take on it.

Also, if you got the sporting (sportsman's) combo the small game portion of that license ends on Feb 29th. Also if you got a trout stamp last year that ends on Feb 29th as well. If I remember the Outdoor News article the extension only applies to fishing licenses.

So make sure to renew your fishing license before trout opener April 12th, thats what I am going to do.

You know, if the DNR is so anxious to make deer regulations easier you think they could make this one simplier too.

ya...thanks guys. maybe the proposel to change the opener date is for next year. if they're going to change it this year they better do it fast for all the people that make reservations out of town on opener weekend. a change like that, in this state, i would think would be tv news worthy.

I think some legislators wanted to move it up, but I believe (and correct me if I am wrong) that with the already pressured populations on alot of lakes, the DNR is worried an extra week of harvest would hurt them even more. Plus they don't want to get any closer to spawn than it already is, in case there end up being bad weather and a late spawn.

Has anyone contacted the DNR about when the 2007 licenses expire? From what I have heard, your 2007 license is still going to expire on Feb 29th 2008. The 2008 regulations state that the new licenses are good from March 2008 til April 2009.

I work at a store that sells licenses and if you were to purchase a fishing license today, it still would say it expires Feb 29 2008.
