I have family coming in from out of state that want to try their hand at fishing. Is there a fishing passport like the one offered for hunting? Or will they have to purchase a non res. license?
Answer:
Sorry, we don't have a fishing passport - but it's a really good idea. The hunting passport is a way to expose people to hunting prior to taking hunter education and making a large time and financial commitment to the sport. Fishing is different in the fact we don't require any pre-sport education and we can offer relatively inexpensive short-term licenses.
A 3-day nonresident fishing license costs $12.75 for the first day and $6 for subsequent days. Overall, that's inexpensive "passport" for a day's worth of recreation.
