Is that true? I have my license always pinned into my water pocket so I don't forget it but since I was told that infro, I don't "worry" about it I guess. I could just be ignorant on the "actual" rules.

Of course the one day my son forgot his license we were approached and checked. Everything on their end is computerized but the agents in the field do not have a way to run your drivers license to check. He said there wasn't enough in the budget or something to give all the agents portable computers or whatever. We had to leave the lake.

This reminds me, you should have your drivers license with you as well as your fishing license so they can verify that the fishing license you have actually belongs to you.
