Colorado Fishing License
A Colorado fishing license
used to be good from January 1st to December 31st but that changed in
2010. The licenses now expire on March 31st and are required for anyone
over the age of 16.
Here in Colorado the waters are open year around, day and night, ready when you are so make sure you get your license.
Any Colorado resident over the age of 64 qualifies as a senior and can buy their annual license for $1. You can purchase your Colorado fishing license from the Colorado Division of Wildlife's website, by calling (800)244-5613 or by visiting a license agent near you. The first full weekend in June is a free weekend where residents and nonresidents do not need a Colorado fishing license.
The Colorado Parks and Wildlife fishing brochure is a great resource for the rules and regulations of Colorado and has information on some great fishing spots. It also has information of all the sport fishing you can do and where the fish are located. Make sure you know the regulations especially for the gold water fishing in Colorado. Some of our water is catch and release, wild trout water or artificial and lures only.
