{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Electronic copies of fishing licenses

always wondered about this... i guess eric says it's not valid in VA but i think you could talk your way out of it depending on the game warden and how their day is going. I keep a backup of all licenses on my phone to either show or reprint if necessary. Has proven very helpful on a couple occasions. have done reprints at motels, fly shops, and rental car offices.  

i know in PA and a couple other states you need to have it displayed at all times...i think you also have to have it reprinted from a state licensing agent ($5) ??  rarely ever see a game warden in VA or MD. I usually print out 5-10 copies every year when i buy them online. usually keep 2-3 copies in the car, one copy in a bag in my fishing backpack,  and stuff copies of the md/va/dc  into a couple different ziplock's for my waders and canoes.  yea, it's overkill but over the course of the spring/summer/fall they tend to get destroyed and disappear... always rather have a couple copies on me than none. unnecessary anxiety fishing without one.

Hey all,

I was wondering if everyone here prints out a copy of their fishing licenses.  I live in MD, and have licenses to fish in a number of states (and DC) but most are electronic.  I keep them in dropbox and have that app on my phone so I can pull it up should I get asked.  I've never had a chance to pull out my phone for a license, but one of the things I really like about buying online is that I can then print as many copies as I want.  If I get one wet for instance.  

I know some of them probably say "Not valid unless signed" and barring the possibility that I drop my phone in the water or run out of battery, has anyone else had the same thought?  Just curious.  I'm probably going to print out a copy of my DC license for this weekend (c'mon shad cam!).  

See you all out there!
