![]() Unless you fish naked, there's always a place to pin your license.That's why they sell those license holders. I wear mine on my vest when I'm trout fishing. I was checked by a CO a few years back on the Flatbrook. He read my license from 20 feet away. It turns out, he was a good friend of my uncle. Once he saw my name he knew exactly who I was and we talked for about 15 minutes before he had to leave. I also saw a squad of CO's get out of their cars on the Musky and walk both banks. The only people they questioned were the ones without a visible license. It didn't take them long to move on and check other places. This allowed them to cover more miles and check more fishermen which is a good thing. Try hunting without a visible license! Try driving your car without license plates! Do you have registration numbers on your boat? Do you go through airport security? Do the security people wear ID badges? What's the differenc?

![]() I've always displayed my license on my back since I purchase two one NJ & PA , when I've been checked, once had to walk across stream so he could close up license. On another occasion the CO used binoculars so I didn't have to come out of water.

If it takes him a little longer , than it is what it is, because i value my privacy more than i value delaying a CO. Ive never heard of anyone getting in trouble for not having it displayed on their clothes. Also your license plates only identifies you to the police officer not to any random people. When you go to the airport you only show your password when you are asked, you dont need to have on display on your clothing at all times. But imagine if you did ? Thats how I feel about the fishing license. Also if you're walking on the street and a police officer stops you , you are not required to show them your license or any identifying information. As for it being the law, we all break the law and bend the rules on a daily basis. If you go 5 miles over the speed limit, guess what, you broke the law. You ever smoke marijuana ? guess what you broke the law. But everyone has done it at some point, cause its a stupid law to begin with. I know some of you disagree with me, but lets agree to disagree.

![]() well, if that's really how you feel, why don't you suggest the change during the public comment portion of a meeting of the nj fish and game council? that's the governing body of the NJ fish and game code, which includes the license display requirements.
next meeting is on 10/13 http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/fgcnclmtg.htm

![]() I would always forget it when it was pinned to me. Would have to dig through the laundry hamper so now I keep it on my wallet, I always have it then if I decide to stop on my way home from work or find myself with an hour or two to kill why away from home. Any ways I can't remember the last time I was checked even fishing opening day of trout and seeing a co walking by. And when I was checked several years ago they didn't give me a hard time about not having it displayed although I know if I get a hard guy on the wrong day I could be ticketed
