A basic fishing license is needed before casting a line in the water. The license allows anyone 18 or older to legally catch freshwater fish species in Louisiana.
There are two other types of fishing licenses. A saltwater license is needed for those fishing south of the saltwater line, which stretches eastward from the Texas state line to the Mississippi state line. A hook and line license is needed for fishing with a pole or hook and line without a reel or artificial bait.
Residents pay a $17 fee for a basic fishing license. To get this rate, applicants must have a Louisiana driver’s license or a Louisiana ID card. Fees are increased for non-residents.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries said recreational fishing licenses are valid from the date it was bought and for one year from bought.
Fishing licenses can be purchased online or at LDWF Headquarters at 2000 Quail Drive in Baton Rouge. The license can be used within the LA Wallet app.
