FWID and freshwater fishing license

[NChunter]

I thought the fwid number was going to replace the old angler number. Just went online to get my license looks like you still need an angler number, and I've forgot mine. Think I will just go to the store and get all three (fresh salt and hunting) of my licenses this weekend.

You'll still need your original angler number for this year. My understanding is the fwid and angler numbers will eventually become one and the same, but not yet. There are ways to retrieve your forgotten number:

Plus it is on last year's licence if you still have a copy.
