Included with the all of the new state laws was the increase of state freshwater license to $23. I think when my current license expires I'm going purchases a lifetime license. 44 and under = $260 45-50 = $210 51-55 = $160 56-60 = $110 61-64 = $60 65 and over = $20 at $260 you could have it paid off in 11 years, most likely less since the price is going to increase more than once during that time.

A Washington freshwater fishing license is $24 and we don't even have an option for lifetime license. $48 for a combo freshwater/saltwater/shellfish. They used to raffle off a few lifetime licenses a year at $6 a ticket, but the state must have been losing too much money because they stopped it.

Good things come to those who bait... Hoss in Wa

Hi Slam, I have been in Virginia for about a year and a half now. I first had to buy the non-resident license until I officially moved here. Then was lucky enough to buy my resident license last March before the price increase. Now I am thinking of buying the lifetime if it's $160. I will be 51 in January. I see on the site that if I was to have to move out of the state of Virginia after buying the lifetime, it will still be good. ( sounds silly to say that, but you never know) I that you can only buy the lifetime on line. Is that your understanding? Where's your favorite fishing haunt in Virginia??

I believe you can only purchase the lifetime license through the mail. All other hunting/fishing licenses can be purchased online. The lifetime form can be accessed at www.dgif.virginia.gov/licenses/lifetime Places I fish in Virginia are By boat Rappahannock river - from Fredericksburg to Port Royal Potomac river- from MT Vernon to Quantico Lake Orange Lake Anna - northern part of lake Hunting run dam lake James river - deep bottom area by canoe Rappahannock/Rapidan rivers from Elys ford to Motts runs Shenandoah river south fork - downstream from Luray, from Bixler ferry rd to ft Stover road

Thanks for the license information. Sounds like you are a bit north of me. Lake Anna is a little bit over two hours away. I am located in Central Virginia. I live about 5 minutes from the Swift Creek Reservoir, about 40 minutes from the Chickahominy River, about one hour from Sandy River Reservoir, about an hour and a half from Briery Creek and three hours from Carvin's Cove in Roanoke. Sorry, for the geography lesson. These are all the places I have visited so far. I am also about 15 minutes from a launch into the James River but have not made it there yet.
