Fishing Licenses

From: www.maine.gov/ifw/licenses_permits/fishing.htm

Who needs a fishing license?
A person is required to obtain a valid fishing license prior to fishing in inland waters or transporting fish taken from inland waters.
A person is required to keep his/her fishing license with him/her at all times while fishing or transporting fish and must exhibit their license for inspection by any warden, department employee, guide or landowner upon request.

Possession of fishing tackle in the fields or forest or on the waters or ice of Maine without a fishing license is prima facie evidence of fishing in violation of the law.

When obtaining a resident license, it is the responsibility of the applicant to submit proof of residency.
No resident or nonresident, 16 years of age or older, may fish in inland waters or transport fish taken from inland waters without first obtaining a valid Maine fishing license.
Maine Residents may obtain fishing licenses from any resident license agent.
Nonresidents may obtain fishing licenses in person or by mail from the IF&W Department Office in Augusta or from any of the numerous nonresident license agents throughout the State.
Residents and nonresidents are also able to purchase licenses online at mefishwildlife.com.
Unless otherwise specifically provided, all fishing licenses expire on December 31 of the calendar year for which they were issued.

Maine residents (and immediate family members who live with that person ) may fish without a license from their own land if that person owns more than 10 acres of land, lives on that particular piece of land, and the land is used exclusively for agricultural purposes.
