State rod license becomes operative June 25.
After legal hurdles the general rod license act is enforced starting June 25 with a 50 cent fee for land lake and trout fishing. The House initially granted immediate effect but later did not, while a supreme court ruling prompted field officers to resume enforcement. Licenses are available in stores statewide for residents over 18, with wives allowed to fish if their husband holds a license.
