What? Is this a joke? NO, it is no joke! I'm not one to mix politics and fishing sites, but this is about letting our state reps from all parties know how we feel about doubling and tripling fees AND reducing services to outdore enthusiasts. For those that don't get the CT Outfitters newsletter

Dear Brian,

I hope you had a very rewarding open water season and we were able to help you GET OUT! We are looking forward to some serious HARDWATER fishing very soon...

However, it is with great concern that I write to you today. I do not consider myself to be a politically active person beyond exercising the privilege to vote. The recent actions by the Legislature of the State of Connecticut have made dramatic changes to your ability to enjoy your sport of recreational fishing.
•All licenses and fees for sportsmen have been unfairly doubled and tripled in cost for 2010.
•CT now has the most expensive sporting license structure of any northeast state.
•"Bag limits" continue to decrease
•"Keeper" sizes have increased
•Season lengths have been shortened
•Stocking is in jeopardy
There is something you can do. Your investment can be as small as a phone call. Please see the remainder of this e-mail for some easy options that you can do to help correct
misguided laws and regulations.

Thank you for taking the time to make a difference.
Gary Brummett, Owner
