I've lived in 5 states in this wonderful country of ours. California is the only state that not only charges a daily fee to fish, it's the only state that restricts the time of day I can fish. I fish Skinner approximately 50 days a year. With the new fee of $8.00, along with my annual fee, it costs me approximately $550.00. If you add gas for the boat and truck, my cost escalates to approximately $1,350.00. I'm very thankful that I can afford it, but how many people each day don't go fishing because of the cost.
