The state legislature recently raised the fishing license fee by a cool 25%. For the the Annual Sportsman License fee went from $40 to $50 and the Annual Fishing License went from $15 to $20, a whopping 33%! In addition, the license issuing fee paid to the agents is $2.00 but now that will no longer be contained in the fee but will be paid by the fisherman in addition to the license fee! To seeall the changes to the fees, go to NCWildlife.
These are MAJOR increases and what we can expect from all the greedy government entities as we face the future.
