Why Do You Need an Arkansas Fishing License?

Arkansas law requires that any angler over the age of 16 carry a fishing license while fishing in public waters. This helps protect and manage Arkansas’s fisheries for future generations. Fishing licenses fund essential conservation efforts, habitat improvement projects, and fisheries management, ensuring that Arkansas remains a premier fishing destination for years to come.

There are several fishing licenses available depending on your residency status, how often you plan to fish, and the type of fishing you intend to do:

1. Resident Fishing License – This standard license is available for Arkansas residents and covers all public waters in the state.
2. Non-Resident Fishing License – Non-residents can choose from various options based on the length of stay, such as a 3-day, 7-day, or annual non-resident license.
3. Trout Permit – If you’re fishing for trout in certain waters, a trout permit is required in addition to your standard fishing license.
4. Special Fishing Licenses – The state offers several special licenses for youth, seniors, and veterans, providing additional access at reduced rates.
