Wisconsin Phases Out Trout Stamp Competition

http://dnr.wi.gov/fish/stampcontest/
I just heard that the WDNR has phased out the yearly Trout Stamp Competition for 2011. Is this true with the other stamps?

My dad use to collect the old stamps and have them in a shadow box.

They were always beautiful.

You will still need to purchase the stamp for trout but it just isn’t going to be the same. All it will be now is a computer generated notation on your license.

The trout regulations pamphlet typically has the trout stamp winner on the cover.

Sounds just like MN. The stamps are just a validation on your license. We have the option if we want the actual stamp for collecting the dnr will mail the stamp it just costs an extra couple $.

Take Care!

submitted 30 photos to the state to consider for the cover of the trout regulations.
They picked one of mine. It is at the printer.

When I was a judge a couple years back for one of the trout stamp competition ,
I was told by WDNR employees that the Trout Stamp Contest would be phased
out.

I left my name/number and email address and told them if they wanted to use any of my photos for the cover
of the Trout Fishing Rules Pamphlet they should contact me . They contacted me three weeks ago. The 2011/2012 cover of
the Wisconsin Trout Regulations Pamphlet will have one of my photos gracing it.
