License Angling in Iowa Would Cost Fishermen One Dollar
H C Hinshaw, Iowa state game warden, urges a yearly one dollar license for all who fish in state lakes and rivers, to align with hunting funding. Exemptions would apply to women and boys under 14. The proposal, first raised four years ago, aims to double fish and game revenue and shift costs of restocking and enforcement to anglers. During 1916, 1,600,000 fish were stocked as the Ash car operated late into the fall.
