OK. Let's say 5000 bob houses on 960 lakes. Nah, lets say 10,000 x $10. Enough to hire one full time CO with benefits and a vehicle. It is difficult to justify to the legislature that 2.5 months of ice fishing justifies that fee. These fishermen are already paying a fee for a fishing license. Why should they be charged more than a summer fisherman? Pretend you're on a legislative committee and ask the questions. There are many more. Just pretend and ask yourself.
