When the Habitat Stamp Is Added
The 2026 fishing fee table lists a $12.76 Habitat Stamp for anglers ages 18 through 64 when required. CPW exempts the first two qualifying one-day or additional-day purchases. A third purchase can trigger it if you owe it and do not already have it. Check the itemized checkout total.
Read the Habitat Stamp rules and use the current fishing fee table for the 2026 amount.
Select the Date and Keep Your Confirmation
Select the date and verify residency in CPW’s license shop. CPW explains that a physical license may not be mailed for short trips close to the purchase date; read its guidance for the proof you must carry.
Compare the weeklong trip options and annual fees. Check Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations for the water you plan to fish.
