Nevada · Fishing license · Cost
How much is a fishing license in Nevada?
$40 a year if you live here, $80 if you don't. NDOW adds a processing fee on top of the prices it publishes.
Just passing through? Each consecutive day costs $7 — the annual pays for itself from about 12 of those.

Fees inside the price
NDOW states that its listed prices do not include the nominal processing fee charged at checkout.
How long your money lasts
NDOW sells the adult licence as an annual one and the day permit for the days it names. The prices below are NDOW's own, before the small processing fee the department adds at checkout.
What we could not pin down
Rather than fill these in from somewhere else, they stay open until NDOW states them plainly.
- NDOW's fishing page carries no trout stamp or second-rod stamp; neither is listed here rather than assumed from other states' patterns.
- The exact validity window of the annual licence (calendar year or 365 days from purchase) was not stated on the pages read.
- Free fishing day: no dated 2026 announcement was read.
