looking45 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 How much are you paying for a 2024 fishing license? Here in California the basic license is $61.82 and is good for one year from date of purchase 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User gimruis Posted December 30, 2023 Super User Share Posted December 30, 2023 I buy a couples conservation MN resident angling license every year for $27. So if you divide it by two, half for me and half for my wife, that's $13.50 per year for me to fish here in MN. I don't ice fish so I get about 6 months out of it. The conservation version is half the price of a normal one ($26.00), and allows me to keep half the posted daily bag limit of each fish in the regs. I hardly ever keep anything so this is the way to go for me. My wife fishes about 3 for 4 times/season. $13.50 IMO is dirt cheap for me to fish for 6 months here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User A-Jay Posted December 30, 2023 Super User Share Posted December 30, 2023 The state of Michigan 2023 licenses & regulations apply April 1, 2023 – March 31, 2024. Covers the ice fishing season. Well, not so much this year. This year it was $26 for an annual Resident license and $76 non Resident Next years info is not available yet. In 2025 if I'm still here, I'll be eligible for the Senior (65 and over) Resident license for a whopping $11 Bucks. It pays to get old.

Super User MIbassyaker Posted December 30, 2023 Super User Share Posted December 30, 2023 MI was $26 in 2023 for all species. If you ever find yourself feeling down about the cost of a State fishing license, try this simple exercise: Divide the cost by the number of hours per year that you fish in your state while enjoying its natural resources. Then look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, honestly: What other activity could I possibly do that would be greater bang-for-the-buck in total recreational value per hour given this usage fee? Even at California prices, I can't think of anything that comes close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tackleholic Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Don't remember 16 years back, but I bought a 65 and over lifetime hunting, fishing license and trout stamp, it was very inexpensive. I live on Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas, and pay $10 per year to hunt and fish on the Missouri side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
