Match the License to Your Weekend
- Confirm the dates you will actually fish.
- If your plans fit one three-day window, the $30 license covers the full period.
- Two one-day licenses also cost $30 at the posted base price. Compare that option for widely separated fishing days, and check any stamp dates as well.
Select the trip dates at checkout and confirm the start and end shown on your license. An annual license generally expires December 31 of its license year.
Buy and Check Before Fishing
Buy through the official ADF&G store or a participating vendor. Carry the valid license and any required stamp. ADF&G lists the approved paper and electronic formats in its license FAQ.
Check your water and dates in the regional sport fishing regulations and the latest ADF&G emergency orders.
Compare the one-day visitor guide and seven-day visitor guide for other trip lengths.
