Statewide Iowa — The Iowa Natural Resources Commission has approved the rules to increase the cost of the lifetime fishing license.
Fisheries Bureau Chief, Joe Larschied, says the change came after they heard public input.
He says following the comments the initial proposal to raise the fee to 65 dollars was lowered to 63 dollars.
A lifetime license for those over the age of 65 now costs 61-dollars, 50 cents. The new fee begins in January.
