I don’t know if it’s a group or just Tom Nuestrom.
The idea is that all the guides in MN need to have guide insurance, drug testing and background checks. It’s a double wammy for the guys that have CG Licenses.
Really it’s about keeping the out state guides…well out of the state. Nonresident Guide License will of course be higher then resident fees.
The other piece is I’m told to keep the CG from enforcing the law requiring guides on ML and the other lakes from receiving a CG License.
Expect your guiding fees to go up in 2015.
