Greetings! I hope you had a very rewarding open water season and we were able to help you GET OUT! We are looking forward to some serious HARDWATER fishing very soon... However, it is with great concern that I write to you today. I do not consider myself to be a politically active person beyond exercising the privilege to vote. The recent actions by the Legislature of the State of Connecticut have made dramatic changes to your ability to enjoy your sport of recreational fishing. All licenses and fees for sportsmen have been unfairly doubled and tripled in cost for 2010. CT now has the most expensive sporting license structure of any northeast state. "Bag limits" continue to decrease "Keeper" sizes have increased Season lengths have been shortened Stocking is in jeopardy There is something you can do. Your investment can be as small as a phone call. Please see the remainder of this e-mail for some easy options that you can do to help correct misguided laws and regulations. Thank you for taking the time to make a difference. Gary Brummett, Owner Call the Governor or a legislator!!! Fed up with the bull-loney? Call Governor Rell and tell her, now. Governor M. Jodi Rell direct Toll-Free number 1-800-406-1527 Tell her that.... The license increases for hunting, fishing and trapping have unfairly affected you. That the state stands to LOOSE revenue due to the increases That CT is now the most expensive place to hunt and fish in New England, but we don't offer the best outdoor opportunities any longer. Leave a message with a staffer, but ask to have your call returned. Be polite but direct. If everyone does a small thing, the legislators will hear us.

I was looking online and for a inland fishing and small game hunting combo it cost $56 :evil: :evil: :evil:. WTF. I'll pay it because I love to fish but the DEP better have enough money now to open up Bantam Lake again, check all the rivers before opening day to catch the poachers, and they better be checking people for their licenses more often. I'm 19 years old and fished many popular lakes and in my 3 years of holding a license I've been checked 2 times. Once at the Thames river in winter, and once on Bantam Lake during the Fall. For all the fishing I do and only been checked 2 times, it almost seems like I should just skip out next year and put that money in my gas tank. It's not like there are any DEP guys that go to Batterson to see if anybody has there fishing licenses, or the Pequabeck River in Bristol. Total BS thats all I have to say about this increase.
