Our local weather is warming up, and I've had an itch to go fishing out on our CA Delta. Today, while picking up meds at the local CVS pharmacy, I bought my 2013 CA fishing license. Starting in 2012 (or was that 2011?), they have a small terminal/printer hooked to the state DFG. They punch in your DL number or prior year's fishing license number, and you get a 'thermal paper' printout about the width of a supermarket register receipt, and approx 2 feet long. They even provide a 'special' pen to sign the license on the thermal paper.
CA has, for a number of years, had a requirement that your fishing license be displayed 'above thebelt waist' while fishing. With the old style license, we merely inserted it into a plastic holder attached to a neck lanyard, or with a pin clipped on a fishing hat. When they went to the first 'new' version of the license, I merely folded it and inserted it in the plastic holder. But, with the newest style, maybe I should "fly" it like a kite ???
