NY License Increase

Post by Todd B. »

It just came to my attention that NY State has raised their fishing license fees by 75% for the 2010 season. For those of you that purchase a yearly license, you're looking at shelling out $70 US for next season's license. :x

Unfortunately the stream/river trout fishing in Ontario is pretty much non-existant.

If $70 for a fishing license is too much for you, maybe you have bigger problems than the cost of a license..... :wink:

Seventy bucks for a season to fish NY state? Pfffttt..... I have to shell out about half that much per day to fish a few kilometers of stream here in Japan. Most streams don't offer seasonal licenses, either. :shock:

Frankly, you guys should get down on your knees and thank God you live in Ontario. The licensing structure is cheap and easy compared to what I deal with in Japan. What's more, the fishing's way better in North America.

Like RG wrote, you just cross over to Quebec and get poutine!!!!! mmmmmmm, poutine.......... 8)
Time's fun when you're having flies.

I can read some members calling me a liar already, but I was raised in Sherbrooke, QC and at the age of 13 (I'm now 55), we had french-fry shacks already selling poutine. Quite popular, but not to be found anywhere else except the odd Eastern Townships villages. Spent 7 years in Montreal and nowhere to be found until it caught on, then it eventually caught on in Ottawa and elsewhere like New York City).

Each time I go back home to visit the parents and relatives, there is two place I like to stop. At Louis' and the corner where that french-fry shack use to be where I bought my daily poutines (of course the shack has long been gone from that corner street).

Memories, of real original poutines :roll: The secret to an even tastier poutine (this is known only from the Eastern Townships) is splash some white vinegar on the gravy with a little bit of salt. A real killer of taste.

Remember those old type of french-fries with the bad colestorol oil that use to make french-fries nice and soft and brown color. Miss those. Had a hard time to adapt to these new fries soak in non-transfat oil. Buurrkk.

The KMart on Hwy 11 (W. Main St) just west of Hwy 37 sells them. If you're going via Ogdensburg, you can pick it up at the Walmart.
