No. You can fish unlicensed
on your land, but not necessarily
from your land. If you own a small fish pond within the borders of your own property, you can fish that without a license as the landowner. You cannot stand on the shore of your Winni cottage (or cast from your dock) and fish into the public waters unless you have a license.

Yes, that is correct (unless you were operating a recognized aquaculture fish farm).

You are confusing the fishing exemption with the hunting & trapping requirements. Youths under 16 years of age are not required to have a license to fish and thay do not have to have a licensed adult present to fish. However, they must have a licensed adult supervising them when hunting or trapping.
There are many stores in the Lakes region that carry New Hampshire hunting & fishing pamphlets as published by the NH Fish & Game Department. These pamphlets will answer all your questions and provide a wealth of information on the many fine hunting, fishing & trapping opportunities in this great State. I would recommend you pick up a couple at your next convenience. Usually if an establishment sells hunting & fishing licenses, chances are they have an ample supply of these guides on hand also.
Hope this helped.....
