Two major fishing tournaments have already changed their plans about holding competitions in North Dakota this year.
The reason why? North Dakota Game and Fish has increased fees by such a large amount that it is no longer economically feasible to stage major events on North Dakota waters. In announcing the increase Fisheries Division Chief Greg Power called it an “issue of balance and fairness.” Others don’t see it that way.
Since 1984 fishing tournaments in North Dakota have had to pay a 10% conservation fee, up to a maximum of $5,000. The fee is used for maintenance or construction of boat ramps, docks, or other projects. Good stuff. The 10% is based on entry fees.
