Fishing Licenses​

​It is required by law to obtain a fishing license before fishing in inland waters. Maine residents under 16 years old, and nonresidents under 12 may fish without a license

Annual individual resident fishing licenses sell for $25.

​Licenses help support the protection, preservation, and the sport of fishing. Fees help pay for fishery and hatching management, habitat development and protection, endangered species program, fishing and conservation education, and other valuable programs.
