Who needs a fishing license?

Question

Who needs a fishing license?

Answer 1

I don't.

Answer 2

In California it is any person who is 16 years of age or older must possess a sport fishing license when taking any fish, shell fish, reptile, or amphibian in California (Fish and Game Code, Section 7145).   Fish and Game Code Section 86 defines "Take" as hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill, or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture or kill.

They are also different fees for resident and non resident anglers.

Answer 3

The laws are different in each state.  If you go to a store or facility that issues fishing licenses, they will provide you the information you want for where you live.

Answer 4

Depends on age and the state you're fishing in. But certain fishing situations don't require one -- for example, fishing off public piers in California doesn't require a license. On the other hand, if you're a passenger on a sport fishing boat you need one even if you aren't fishing. Often there are private fishng ponds where you don't need one (but you generally have to pay admission).

Anyway, the regulations vary, so check the fish&game website for your state.

Answer 5

anyone of age (as determined by your state game officials) that wants to fish..

Answer 6

Someone who goes fishing.  Every state has different requirements.  Check my website, it may have the answer that your looking for.  But, you'll have to fish for it.

Answer 7

I'm going to go get one this weekend.  So I do.  But anyone over 12-15 depending on the state needs one if they are fishing♥

Answer 8

Need fishing licenses

A couple of young fellers were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bush's jumped the Game Warden !!

Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods, and hot on his heels came the Game Warden.

After about a half mile the fella stopped and stooped over with his hands on his thighs to catch his breath and the Game Warden finally caught up to him.

"Lets see yer fishin license, Boy !!" the Warden gasped.

With that, the fella pulled out his wallet and gave the Game Warden a valid fishing license.

"Well, son", said the Game Warden, " You must be about as dumb as a box of rocks !! You don't have to run from me if you have a valid license!"

"Yes Sir", replied the young feller," But my friend back there, well, he don't have one"...
