Fishing License

[zaraflux]

Just read the thread on the trout stamps got me curious what states are charging for license.Here in Tejas they are @40 dollars resident 1 yr freshwater.

[wareagledc]

its only 12 bucks from august to august for resident freshwater in alabama

[Gearhed]

In Maine we pay $23 for resident annual license, runs through Dec 31st, no matter when you buy it. It covers all freshwater fishing and ice fishing.( I know you guys are saying "ice whating?what fishing?whatwhating?"

Also, in a move that has salt water sport fisherman in an uproar is that the state will begin requiring them to buy licenses for the first time EVER. This is in addition to a freshwater license if you want to fish both salt and sweet water. All they really needed to do was put a box on the fresh water licenses that says "I fish saltwater, too". This is to comply with new federal requirements to track saltwater sport fisherman.

Ouch!!!!!!

[3dkicker]

Ouch but Capt. covers that cost with two trips. It's the rest of the expenses, his monthly bill from George's, that cost him the big bucks!!!

(George's = sweet little chicken and rib place in Indian Head, MD.)



VA - The cost went up from $12 or $16 for fresh water to $20 per year. Both fresh and salt are $30 I think.

I also fish NC and DC sometimes and get a 5 day for less than $10 for each.

"It's only money" would certainly apply in this case!

[Jim80]

In CT it's $20 a year and as of this year you can only get the licenses online or at 1 of three retailers . Plus i pay another $20 to fish at a few privately owned properties which luckily are a stones throw from my house .

[BigBassin144]

for annual resident Ohio, we pay $19.

I think we pay like $36 annual non-resident for MI w/o trout/salmon pass. I think that's 40.

[abu4600]

Here we pay $9.00 for a 1yr. resident freshwater license.

[Bender]

In the last couple weeks I paid:
Ohio Non-res: $40
Indiana Non-res: $35
Michigan Res: $28

Soon:
Ontario Outdoors Card: $9
Ontario License: $75

and possibly Walpole Island: $42

[cassidyta]

Mine was
38.85 for the resident
12.10 for second rod stamp
4.45 for salt water stamp
3.00 for the colorado river
6.05 for steelhead
6.05 for the Delta
18.65 for albacore

At least I am a resident. Non-res 104.20 and then add the stamps

[islandbass]

WA doesn't fuss around with stamps and such. They do distinguish between fresh and salt water. Roughly $20 for each for one year. If you got a freshwater license, it would be valid for any species of fish in freshwater.

[Mensa]

Here in TN it's 28 dollars.

[crankybait]

Got my license yesterday... 22, plus 10 for the trout stamp. Going to need a PA non resident too.

[Jim80]

now we don't have to get a stamp for trout or other species 1 license covers it all for , and cranky they should have a 2 or 3 day temp license for PA for the get together .

Well I'm also planning a visit to Penn State on April 17, so I figured I would fish a bit too. I need to look into it, but buying a temporary license twice (maybe more, i fished in PA 4 times last year) probably would cost more than a full nonres license.

[Joel]

Here in NY state a freshwater lic is $19 from Sept to the Sept. I also get a Conn non-res freshwater lic for $40. There is talk about a saltwater lic coming real soon. NYC watershed permit and boat tags are free.

[Lancer6]

Here in Texiz we gots a purdy good dealio.

208 Lake Texoma Fishing RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT $12.00 211 Saltwater Sportfishing Stamp RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT $10.00 213 Resident One-Day All-Water Fishing RESIDENT $10.00 214 Non-Resident One-Day All-Water Fishing NON-RESIDENT $15.00 231 Resident Freshwater Fishing Package RESIDENT $28.00 232 Resident Saltwater Fishing Package RESIDENT $33.00 233 Resident All Water Fishing Package RESIDENT $38.00 234 Senior Resident Freshwater Fishing Package RESIDENT $11.00 235 Senior Resident Saltwater Fishing Package RESIDENT $16.00 236 Senior Resident All Water Fishing Package RESIDENT $21.00 237 Resident Year-From-Purchase All Water Pkg RESIDENT $45.00 244 Special Resident All-Water Fishing (legally blind) RESIDENT $6.00 250 NR Freshwater Fishing Package NON-RESIDENT $55.00 251 NR Saltwater Fishing Package NON-RESIDENT $60.00 252 NR All Water Fishing Package NON-RESIDENT $65.00 256 Freshwater Fishing Stamp RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT $5.00 257 Exempt Angler Tag RESIDENT AND NON-RESIDENT $3.00Am I right or am I right?

Actually, an even sweeter deal is the "Super Combo Hunting and Fishing" license. 64.00 (last season, anyway,) for Residents and 30 bux for Seniors. This includes all waters...Fresh and Salt, and a potful of deer and turkey tags along with all the other critters.
