How Old Do You Have to Be to Fish Without a License?

Fishing without a license is a common question for both experienced and novice anglers. Each state and country has their own regulations, but most require a fishing license for all individuals over a certain age. The age at which a fishing license is required varies from state to state, so it's important to check the regulations for where you'll be fishing.

In the United States, there are 32 states that require children under the age of 16 to have a fishing license to cast a line. For the remaining 18 states, the age requirement is under 18.

However, there are some exceptions to these requirements. In most states, children under the age of 16 are not required to have a license as long as they are fishing with a licensed adult. Additionally, some states have special rules for fishing on private property or in designated areas where a license is not required.

It's always best to check with the local fishing authorities to confirm the specific requirements in your area. Most states have their fishing license regulations available online. You can also usually find the information at local bait and tackle shops.
