Fishing licenses by state
Every state sets its own license and its own price. We've written up 5 so far, each read straight from the agency that issues it — with the retrieval date and a link back to the source on every page. The agency is always the one that counts.
| State | Agency | Resident, annual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | FWC | $17 | Details → |
| Michigan | DNR | $26 | Details → |
| Missouri | MDC | $14 | Details → |
| Ohio | ODNR | $25 | Details → |
| Pennsylvania | PFBC | $27.97 | Details → |
Rules and prices are set by each state agency and can change. Every page carries the date we read it and links back to the source.
