Tips & Warnings

  • Get a license for your young adult. Residents who are 16 years old or older must have a license to fish in Maine. Non-residents who are 12 years old or older must also have fishing licenses.
  • Don't send your social security number across the Internet unless your computer has updated anti-theft software. If someone steals your social security number, he can ruin your credit. Protect yourself before you register for a fishing license online.
