Not only are the lic. fees high here in Pennsylvinia, but they lowered the trout limit from 8 trout over 7 inches to 5 trout like 3 years ago and now there is talk that next year it will be lowered again to 3. Before long you'll be able to just buy a trout dinner at red lobster cheaper then catching your own and they clean and cook it for you.

in arizona the basic license only covers lakes and rivers, there is a seperate license to fish the urban ponds around the state, i purchase the conservation license and the two pole state and that covers anything legal!! also the indian reservation there is a pass to fish on the lakes which is 5 dollars per visit or 100 dollars for a yearly pass. so it cost me 160 dollars just to be legal to fish in arizona

Ouch!!!!

NO THEY WON'T I HAVE ASK MANY TIMES  FOR THREE YEARS IN A ROW AND THEY HAVE SENT ME NOTHING !!!

 I travel for work and any way you cut it fishing is the cheapest entertainment I have found. It is also more enjoyable and it last longer than an hour. When I was working in Iowa I paid $9.00 for a 3 day nonresident license, a movie that last 1 1/2 hours was $7.00 to rent.

   My wife asked me to give up hunting and fishing a few years back because of the cost (I don't spend that much). I told her that would be fine and I would take up drag racing. She thought about it for about 30 seconds and told me I could do all the hunting and fishing I wanted. My brother spent $12,000 dollars that same year on motors for his drag car..... My boat and tackle together are under $1000.

Here in Kansas it's $20.50 for a fishing or hunting seperate, or you can get a combo for $38.50. It costs $12.50 more for trout and $6.50 if you want to use three poles. It's legal to fish with two. No extra charge for trotlines but I hear there is for juglines and only allowed on certain lakes. Seniors fish free. Got 20+ years before that comes about, and who knows what will be going on than. But no matter the cost I'll be out there getting a line wet.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE AND STILL DO PROTECT OUR FREEDOM AND TO THOSE THAT KEEP US SAFE EVERYDAY. GOD BLESS FROM EVERT IN WICHITA, KS.

LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE TREND IS IF YOU LIVE IN THE SOUTH, YOU GENERALLY PAY A CHEAPER PRICE. IF YOU GO FURTHER UP NORTH, THE PRICE GENERALLY INCREASES.

Yea and you have nicer days to fish too.

I had reported in '09 on our license fees.  Well our state decided we weren't paying enough.  Annual with harvest tag is now $59.50 for residents and $132.75 for non-residents.  It's about a 25% increase across the board.

The Illinois amount is misleading. An annual resident lic. is $14.50, plus a $.50 issuing fee. A salmon stamp for the Great Lakes is $6.50, an Inland Trout stamp(non-Lk Mich) is $6.50. If you buy online, they hit you another couple of bucks convenience fee. What is shocking is some of the prices out west. SD-$32 for a 3 day NR! Wyoming is obscene also. Tom
