Extracted/condensed from Manchester Union Leader 3/10/89.
CONCORD - The state's tight financial situation has prompted the
House Fish and Game Committee to recommend a $5 hike to hunting
and fishing licenses effective Nov. 15 this year to generate an
estimated extra $715,000 for the biennium.
The Fish and Game panel voted 14-3 for House Bill 271 as amended.
"Due to the flat income from license revenue," the committee re-
considered its prior action, recommending that the bill be killed,
reported Rep. William Boucher, R-Londonderry. He said the Fish and
Game Department has overestimated income by $800,000, and he said
complicating the situation is the mandated 3 percent reduction in
spending through Gov. Judd Gregg's executive order.
The bill hiking the license fees comes to the House floor next week.
If I'm not mistaken, we had an increase about 2 years ago.

| 1024.1 | Free fishing day in NH! | ATSE::URBAN | Wed Jul 05 1989 11:01 | 11 | |
Gleaned from the Nashua Telegraph July 2, 1989
July 22, 1989 is "free fishing day" in New Hampshire. Anyone, residient
of non-resident can fish without a license. All other fishing reg's
must be adhered to.
Free Fishing Day began in 84 as a way to encourage newcomers to try the
sport. Oklahoma was the first state, followed by Pennsylvania. This
year 29 states have a free day. This is NH's first. (and they dint
publish the llist of the others)
