I'm going by memory and my memory seems to be going.

NYS resident $29/season. Is it a good buy? Did I do alright?

Wow, you're a jerk...

It's what I do

I'm pretty sure TN still does a combo small game/fishing for around $25-30 a year.  I've had a lifetime for about 10 years so not really sure any longer. 

NC Freshwater-$15

SC Non-Resident Freshwater- $35 and it expires June 30, regardless of when you purchase it

$17  in the Indiana. $0 for the saltwater license I always have them throw that one on for fun.  :D

Last year, 2010, you had to register with the NOAA and no fees were charged. This year you still need to register and I think it's $25.00. I can register thru MA marine fishery and I think it's $10.00 this year (that may have changed from what they were quoting last year) and that allowed me to fish in ME. I don't believe ME will be handling the registration process this year, but from the way I read it you can register thru MA and save yourself $15.00 and still fish in all coastal waters.

EDIT:

I have to apologize for posting the above information. It appears that the rules have been changed since last summer. MA as of February 11, 2011 has reciprocity agreements wih NH & RI only. The fees are $10.00 and you can use that recreational saltwater permit for the 3 states.

Again, my apologies for the confusion.

$20 Wisconsin resident. Great Lakes and inland trout stamps extra.

$13 for age 65 0r older.

In Missouri it costs $12 for the year as a resident.  If you purchase the license online there is a $2 convenience fee added to it.  Daily permit is $7 and a non-resident permit is $42.  If you purchase the combined fishing and small game permits the price is $19.

Good to know.

What dates did you get?

i think the next option was a 15 day for $40. Prob should have went with that

Here in Kansas, it's $20.50 for a license, $12.50 for a trout stamp, $6.50 for a 3rd pole permit. Annual State Park permit is $24.70.

Tom

California $43.46 for a general sportfishing license, and $13.53 .....so mine was $56.99

Which, I should add, is a substantial sum, for somebody who doesn't get out very much.

But for myself, it's probably the best money I will spend all year long.

Our license are good from Jan 1. to Dec 31. So I try to get mine sometime in Dec, a week or two before the new year starts.

Peace,

Fish

I usually have about 8-9 states a year. 

only resident state is IL...so I pay a lot more than I would like. 

I never get any trout stamps or great lakes stamps.

Washington:  Annual Freshwater is $26.00 and includes both warm and cold water species to include Steelehead, Salmon and sturgeon.  A salt permit is extra as are clam permits. We have punch cards for the species named above and are " required " to submit our records to assist the Department of Fisheries which has ( last time I checked ) 20+ cold water biologists and 1 warm water biologist.

Living in KC, I need 3:

1. Kansas Resident - $20.50

2. Johnson County Parks - $9.00

3. Missouri Nonresident - $42.00
