March 29, 1999 Anglers eager to hit the ponds and streams of PEI can get one step closer today, by going out and purchasing their fishing license. Angling licenses for the 1999 fishing season have been distributed by the Department of Technology and Environment and are now available for purchase at all the usual locations. The fishing season opens on Thursday, April 15, and all anglers must be in possession of an angling license. Anglers are also reminded they must contribute to the PEI Wildlife Conservation Fund in order to validate their license. The 1999 Angling Summary provides information on relevant regulations and is available where licenses are sold. If anglers require clarification on regulations or practices, they are encouraged to contact the Fish and Wildlife Division or a conservation officer. Media Contact: Art Smith
