Fishing Fines

New Hampshire had licenses for several days so you don't need to spend the BIG BUCKS for the season if you don't need it. Do they still exist? CHEAPER than a fine!

Myself and some friends head to the Lake every year and we always make sure we buy a license. Why would someone think they don't need one ?? It is $28.00 for a three day license. Why not just obey the laws ?? I come from Rhode Island and i know you need a license to fish here. So is it just not knowing or just ignorance ??? Don't ruin it for everyone else just get your license !!!!!

Pretty sure the fine is still $60 - and I do believe they can take your fishing equipment as well. At least that's the rumour that F&G has passed along and something I've always believed. Also, when a parent takes their child fishing, the parent cannot cast, change the bait or take the fish off for the child without having a license.

And no, you cannot fish in the lake from your own property without a license. Have close-to-personal experience with this one!
