I was just wondering what fishermen in other states pay to play. Here in Wis. our fishing license is $20/yr. and boat registration is $10/yr. But this is what I am really interested in-how much are your boat launch fees at the ramp? On average ours are $7-$12 for a fishing boat. There still are some free ones, especially at lakes that are up north or waayyy away from any metro area.

In NH, the annual lisence is $35.  I have never paid to launch my boat and hope I never have to.  

Our yearly license is $19, and it costs to launch boats at certain spots. As far as registration I am not sure.

In  Cali licence is 41, or 43.00..old age sure messes with your memory..lol

Some lakes charge up to 22.00 per person, plus launch fees, around 8.00

on the pay to fish lakes, if you rent a boat, could cost ya over 100.00 to fish for a day, at others with a rental boat (don't own a boat) could be as little as 55.00..

Can't think of a ramp more than $6.00 to launch that I have used or heard of on Lake Erie. MANY are FREE and are very nice to boot. 4 in or close to downtown Cleveland that are free!

VA State Freshwater - $18

VA State Trout - $18

VA National Forest Stamp - $4

Boat registration varies by boat length.  $27-37/3 years.

Local town reservoirs also require a permit.  The cost ranges from $12-20 per body of water.

In a given year, I will pay $100-200 for my fishing licenses.  Just this year I've already spent $145 on licenses (VA, TN, KY) and I still need to buy my NC and WV licenses.

Agreed. I dont have a boat, but if I did I wouldn't pay to launch it.

    REGISTRATION:  I have no idea.

    RAMP FEES:  Pretty cheap if you have to pay.  Lucky for me at my favorite ramp and favorite lake somebody stole the money box so the Army Corps of Engineers just took it down for good so it won't happen again.

    FISHING LICENSE:  $15.00 a year for freshwater and saltwater.

The good part is, you don 't have to pay again until next year and you can fish any lake in any state plus all the coastal waters you want with it.

In Mississippi I pay right at $10 for an annual license.  At two of the places I fish its $6 to launch a boat.  The other places are free.

I fish some in Alabama with my dad and it's $54 for a out of state annual license.
