Bull Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Geez, I should have read this first. Just tried to buy a new licence today at Shawnessey Canadiantire and got told i can't buy 1 until march 31 st when the other one expires. I was sure i bought mine last year somewhat before it expired and carried around 2 licences until the 1st one expired. Does anyone have the phone # for AlbertaRELM ? Thanks ,Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethfisher Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I got a new WIN card online because I lost mine in the move to Calgary apparently... I printed off the receipt with all the info on it and they said an actual card is coming in 4 weeks so right around new season starting. I am going to try to buy my license in the store though. Question about the WIN cards, do you need to carry this with you on the river?? I have only been taking my actual license for awhile now? When the conservation dudes ask for your license do they need to see the WIN as well? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the conservation dudes ask for your license do they need to see the WIN as well? Thanks! Good question. There was a thread about this last season.. I'll see if I can find it. One of the board members was approached by a pretty cranky C.O. that insisted they needed to provide their WIN as well as their license. Quite a few people on here disagree, myself included. *edit* Here it is: http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?...;win+card\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you do run into a cranky CO...I have been asked to show my drivers license once along with my fishing license for proof of who I was, so might not hurt to keep something else to identify yourself.

headscan Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Anyone tried using the Albertarelm site today? I can log in, but when I click the link to purchase my license it says it can't connect to the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbowtrout Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I just was on and had no problem getting my license. I love the fact I can now get my license online and I can reprint as many copies as I need also it would help the shops out a lot if everyone bought online. I have gone to Hansons at lunch time and seen them try to process a bunch and most peaple did not have there WIN so they had to look those up and it just seemed to be a huge time waster for everyone.

birchy Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Just got mine online.. man, they should've switched to this system a long time ago! Better late than never I guess... One question and one complaint.. Question - Are we allowed to cut out the license part with scissors? I.E. - Cut around the grey borders.. Complaint - Unless i'm blind, the new licenses don't have the RAP # printed on them like the old ones did. Although I have the RAP # programmed in my phone, it might be an excuse for others..
