In KS it is $19.00 plus I get the Trout Permit just in case at another $11.00 = $30.00/year.
What do you pay in permits every year?
I also live in kansas, just don't trout fish.
Tennessee:
Annual Combination Hunting & Fishing = $28. Trout stamp, deer tag, etc. = extra
Boat Registration - THREE years - 16 ft. or under = $35
Virginia:
Fresh statewide: $23
Or
In your county/city: $16
Fresh + Salt: $40
Arkansas:
Fish only = $10.50
Trout = +$5.00
Hunting = +$25.00
Duck = +$7.00
Colorado base fishing license is $26. You are also required to buy a $10 habitat stamp and if you want to use a second rod that will cost you $5. The habitat stamp is only required on your first license of the year(hunting or fishing) so if you buy a small game, big game, and fishing license you only pay the $10 once. I don't hunt so my fishing license costs me $41 per year.
SC=10.00 fishing
NY- $29 fishing from November to November
AL is $12.50.
Florida is $17 for freshwater and free for Saltwater shore only.

Yep Illinois does. $15 for a license AND 6.50 more for a salmon stamp. Though I like having the social security as a requirement. You would not believe how many illegal immigrants come in to buy fishing licenses.

It surprises me how many states have a separate fee for trout. Our licenses are good from April-April and are good for all species. That jet skier tag is something I would definitely be willing to pay for.
I don't know about other states but Im pretty sure the reason MD charges extra for trout is because they do a lot of stocking and the extra money goes into that. I could be wrong but Im pretty sure most of the trout in MD are stocked.

Interesting. It's hard to find a lake around here that isn't stocked with trout. I'd be really happy if they stocked bass at even 5% of the numbers they stock trout at. In the states that have a trout fee, can you just not keep them if you don't have a stamp, or is it illegal to even target them without the stamp?
Im pretty sure your not supposed to target them without a stamp. Although like I said, I could be wrong. Im still kind of new to this. Im sure someone else who knows better will chime in. All I know is the creek I go to has signs that say "put and take trout area - 5 fish limit: trout stamp required" so I throw down the $5 extra bucks so I have something to fish for in the winter.

$12.00 for resident, trout stamp is $7.00, and a white river border permit is $10.00. I believe that residents over 70 yo do not need a fishing permit.
If you are fishing in lakes or streams that are stocked with trout in PA you better have a stamp or they will give you a hard time. Also we have some lakes that you can't fish at all until opening day of trout!

Washington DC is $10. Washington DC does not reciprocate any other states licenses (namely VA.) In other words, if you are fishing the Potomac from a boat or the Virginia shoreline across from DC, you must have a DC license.
With Virginia and Maryland freshwater and tidal licenses I end up spending about $100 every year to fish all of the water in my area.

IL started when they started with electronic printers. Wisconsin was the first state to require ss#'s, and they've been doing it for at least 20 years, maybe longer. I was told way back when, the reasoning behind it was for tracking deadbeat dads.
I just paid $15 for IL resident. WI licenses are not avilable yet, but my non resident runs around $60 with a Great Lakes salmon stamp
Someone chimed in earlier with NY's fee of $29 (which is correct) from November to November (which is NOT correct).
NY sporting licenses are valid from October 1st - Sept 30th. I wanted to clarify that so he and anyone else from NY that took that as the actual dates do not get fined for fishing or hunting in the month of Oct without a license.
Every year, sometime in Sept., I buy my Super Sportsman license in NY for $88. It includes your fishing, small and big game, bow hunting, muzzleloader and turkey licenses. My next step is to the post office to get a federal waterfowl stamp for $15 and I am set for the year to the tune of $103.
Now I need to find a way to pay off my wife so I can get more of my money's worth out of the licenses. Although she is pretty good about it and I get quite a bit of time out in the field and on the water.

When I lived in va and Fl both post there numbers stocked, size, year and location for all species. You would be surprised. Both states stock bluegill, catfish, bass, carp etc. (pike, walleye and musky in va) but it is a non yearly basis because these fish are able to at least live and in most cases spawn. Trout get it every year, multiple times in some cases because two reasons, bucket fisher slaughter them and by summer the F&W assumes the water temps will to hot for 95% to survive.

New Jersey is a mandatory $22.50 for a license, optional $10 extra for a trout stamp. Jersey requires a Drivers License or some other form of government photo ID with all your current info, as well as your Social Security #, and if Im not mistaken phone # as well. They catch a lot of guys that owe back child support and alamony by requiring ID & SS.
I hate all the permits I buy each year. Lots of lakes and counties require extra permits on top of the state permit.

The charges for more than one rod....is that for more than one rod fishing at a time or more than one on the boat? If you have 5 rods on your boat but only fish one at a time, do you still need it? Just curious.
Usually it is a "at a time" charge. In KS some crappie guys will toss and troll several rods at a time and need that permit.
Pennsylvania was stated earlier. 22.70 base license with another 10 for a trout stamp. Then each year I get a non resident New York license for smallie fishing the adirondacks, and a $50 sport fishing boat decal with the chesapeake, plus a $30 PA US army corp parking pass (otherwise its $3 per day to park). Launch fees at the marinas are the only things I have to pay for after I get all licensed up!
The extra rod charge in my state is for use. I can have as many rods in the boat as I want but legally can only have two in the water at any time. I buy the second rod stamp for when I'm trolling or bottom bouncing for walleye. A lot of the bait fishermen buy it so they can have two bait rigs out.

yes and no so be careful.
Yes, everybody and anybody that comes on the boat is allowed to fish.
No because each person who is on the boat fishing also needs to have a saltwater registration (free on the Maryland DNR website).They do this because of how many stripers come up onto the flats to spawn
As long as each person on the boat has that saltwater registration you are good to go.

You got that right, my fellow Washingtonian, and I don't think our WDFW does much if anything to support bass and other "warm water" fish as they call them in our neck of the woods.
Being an odd year, I need to shell out for the salt water license too for a total of about $55.00 give or take. It would be interested to see if there is a corollary or relationship between a state's fishing license fee and its political leaning to the left or right.

Unfortunately, the majority of the erie stamp money goes into the steelhead program. I used to guide up there, how anyone can call fishing for them in the tribs enjoyable is beyond me. The fight is great, the crowds are terrible.

Don't know why, but I first read it, I thought you typed "for tracking us deadbeat dads".
In Mass the only fee involved when you reach 70 is a "convenience fee" of a dollar fifty. A sporting (hunting and fishing) costs nothing.

Don't forget the optional trout permit at $10, and you aren't allowed to target them without it, though I do fish trout waters with a Roostertail, however I am aiming for bass.

Also we can have all the rods we want with no extra permits needed.
When I worked at Walmart in the late 90's and early 2000's they started the electronic licensing system. When started, a SSN was the only way to buy it. When I quit in 2002, at that time a driver's license would work as an alternate ID, and even though a SSN would work also, they told us we weren't allowed to sell one without the state issued ID or driver's license to prove residency. Now in the last few years when I've bought my license I've been asked for my SSN, and even had to enter it into the machine myself (which was not done when I sold them). I've offered my driver's license for ID but have been told it was not needed.
Licenses are good from March 1 to the last day of February the following year. No matter when you buy it. If you want to fish in February, you better have last year's license or you'll be buying it just to go for a few days, and then buying it again to fish the rest of the year. I heard more than a few complaints about that. You can buy a license to fish for the current year in February but it's not valid until March 1. I can't tell you the number of times I had people want to buy a license for a Valentine's Day gift and have it be good immediately, and last the whole year. Doesn't happen in KY.

Pretty sure you have to the first time in WI. After they have you in their file they use your DNR number. I guess I haven't heard of anyone refusing to provide theirs to know if they still got their licence or not.

OK is $25 per yearJan-Dec or $225 for lifetime, there are additional fees for certain specified areas. No extra fee for trout or paddlefish but you must have a paddlefish stamp. No fees for extra rods but some bodies of water have rules/restrictions. You pretty much have to look up each areas specifics before you head out to new water. Most of the lakes are Corp of Engineers so there is a $3 per day launch fee or an annual pass is $30, valid for 12 months from purchase.
No SSN required for the annual permit, just a state issued ID. The lifetime license requires an SSN.

We plan to buy our son a lifetime fishing license when he turns 16.
I am sure Texas has been mentioned, but I didn't want to read all six pages. We have a ton of different options here, but the basics are $30 for a freshwater license, $35 for a saltwater license or $40 for an all-water license. If you get a combo hunting and fishing, the prices are $50 for hunting and freshwater, $55 for hunting and saltwater and $60 for hunting and all water. Lifetime licenses are $1,000 for hunting or fishing, or $1,800 for both. Fortunately, I purchased my lifetime combo license 5 or 6 years ago when they cost $1,000. In 2009 they increased from that price to $1,800. When I bought it, I think I figured it would pay for itself (using 2008 prices) in 15 years (at the current price it would pay for itself in 28 years). Since I am only 31 I think I ended up with a pretty good deal.
In Mexico you need a permit only if you fish from a boat ( yes, a kayak qualifies as a boat ), the cost of the permit is $500 MN / year but it´s not state permit, it´s federal permit, you can fish in any state and it´s valid for fresh and saltwater.
