Fishing in New York requires a valid state fishing license for anglers. Options include resident and non-resident, annual, daily, and lifetime licenses, available online or at licensed agents statewide.

In New York, no fishing license is required for anglers under 16. Residents 70 and older qualify for a discounted license. A few other exceptions worth knowing:

Non-residents usually pay more for a license than residents. Some species also require an extra stamp or endorsement on top of your base license.
