Minnesota's 2010 fishing licenses and the state's second-ever walleye stamp are now on sale. Anglers who purchase a license early in March can fish for 14 months, since the license does not expire until April 30, 2011. The walleye stamp, though not necessary to catch and keep walleye, is an innovative way for anglers to voluntarily donate funds for walleye stocking. Proceeds from walleye stamp sales go directly to a special DNR account for walleye stocking activities. ?If you didn?t buy a license or walleye stamp last year, now?s the time to get one,? said Steve Michaels, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) license center manager. ?The 2010 license enables you to enjoy the last two months of the 2009 season plus all of the 2010 season.? Minnesota 2009 fishing licenses expire April 30. Minnesota residents need to have a state driver?s license or state identification card to purchase a license. A walleye stamp validation costs $5 and for $2 more, the DNR will mail you the actual collector?s stamp. This year?s walleye stamp was painted by Minnesota artist Tim Turenne of Richfield. It features two walleye, one of which is preparing to strike at a lure.
