Fishing Licenses
A requirement in almost all countries is that each angler must possess a Fishing License before going Fishing in fresh waters. Other coastal countries even require a separate Fishing License when fishing in salt waters. People who have lived for at least six months in a particular country can buy a resident Fishing License which is valid for one year. You can use your valid driver's license as proof that you are a resident of that country.
People who are not residents of the country can buy nonresident Fishing Licenses, which are more expensive than resident Fishing Licenses. There are countries that sell nonresident Fishing Licenses for a certain period of time. Usually, this can go from three to ten days. Anglers who are staying at a country in just a couple of days buy this kind of Fishing License.
Children who are 14 to 16 years of age as well as senior citizens need not to have Fishing Licenses. However, some countries demand teenagers to acquire junior licenses. These are basically less expensive than adult Fishing Licenses. Seniors who are aged 65 and up must have, obviously, senior Fishing Licenses.
Some countries need supplementary funds for the hatchery operations and researches. They get these finances from the special stamps or cards that the countries require to anglers who are fishing in a certain water or if they are after a particular fish species. These stamps or cards are also required to those who will be fishing in waters that are afflicted with too much Fishing, pollution, or human violations. The special stamp or card is bought separately from the Fishing License, but it must be attached to your Fishing License when you are fishing and its cost depends on the country.
You can purchase licenses and stamps at tackle shops, bait shops, and stores of sporting stuff. They are also available at the branch or main office of the country fish department. Pocket-sized booklets containing the synopsis of country
Fishing Rules and Regulations can also be bought at these outlets.
These are the basic Fishing Rules and Regulations as far as Fishing Licenses are concerned. Make sure that you are familiar with them.
