I believe Wisconsin was January to April the next year giving you more time if you need it and allowing you to ice fish two seasons in a row. Washington State went summer to summer taking advantage of peak season. With all of that I have to say I prefer the simplicity of the January to January licence here in California.Danielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01912231489319247426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145376611552561787.post-51478898650572568042014-03-23T13:11:46.424-06:002014-03-23T13:11:46.424-06:00I wasn't aware of that, Howard.

Just kind of frustrating to us in Colorado who are getting limited fishing opportunities, let alone, dry fly fishing. In Colorado, I really should not complain.
