Governor Paterson proposes more fishing fees
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Fishing off New York's coast would no longer be free and casting your line for trout and salmon would cost more under Gov. David Paterson's budget plan for the coming year. Related Content
A new marine fishing license for saltwater would cost the same as the current freshwater license - $19 a year for a state resident. A new mandatory trout and salmon stamp would cost $10. They are projected to add $3 million each to strapped state accounts next year. Both require approval by lawmakers. New York sportsmen, already unhappy about the closing of the state's last pheasant breeding farm, want to be sure any new fees go to the state conservation fund, dedicated to restocking fish and protecting marine resources.
