Answer 1

about 19$. If it's saltwater i'm pretty sure you don't need a lisence. I live in western new york. almost 14 myself. good luck![p.s. no test needed.]

Answer 3

$19.00 for a resident license. if you are fishing, no you do not. if anyone over 16 is, they do. you need to live in new york for 30 days, and have a nys id- driver's or non-driver's id and a nys address.

no test required.

Answer 4

Your dad can get a license at a sporting goods store or even walmart.your right you don't need one, but anyone over 16 who is fishing does. here's an article about the catskill which is a 2hr ride and an article on how to catch trout. Or try someplace in the sound for blues.
