There is water proof and water proof...

Actually its when the paper gets wet it then sticks together, so then when you try to unfold it it lifts the surface and text off part of the paper where it is stuck together. With me I just pulled the folded up license out of my wallet and handed to the warden, when he unfolded it part of the text was missing.

If you look at the original you can see a mirror image of the part that lifted in middle stuck to the bottom of the license.




I'm not sure when it got wet or if it just got damp from leaky waders or sweat but all I know is it got screwed up and as a result I almost got a ticket, and I don't want it to happen again.

Like I said it's a heads up post really I could care less what other people do with their licenses
