Before you go
Prices, age rules and free fishing days are on the agency's page. We list them here only once we've quoted them from it.
- Carry it while you fish, on paper or on your phone if the state allows.
- Fishing for trout? Some states also need a trout stamp or permit; the agency's page says.
- Read the special regulations for the water you pick: seasons, lures and limits can differ.
