Thread: out of state minor

Im from Louisianaand im going camping this week end at petit jean state park. i was wanting to fish but im not sure if i need any kind of permit or not. Im not sixteen yet so i dont need a liscence here and i didnt know if it was the same.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,
Clint

You're in luck! This weekend is Arkansas' Free Fishing Weekend. Everybody, including nonresidents, can fish without a license. Go to Arkansas wildlife – Arkansas outdoors – Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for more info.

Oops, my bad. That is the weekend of June 11, not this weekend. You can still purchase a non-resident permit for $11.50, though. Go to the website Arkansas wildlife – Arkansas outdoors – Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for more info.

That little lake on top of Petit jean used to have some good fish in it. Have fun up there. I live about 8 or 10 miles west of your camp. Let me know if you need any info.

will do, thanks both of you.

Under 16, in the greatest state in the union, I think you will not need a permit, residents under 16 don't.

lm hit it. you don't need one if you are under sixteen. resident or not.

ooh i hope so that was what i was hoping for in the first place. Its like that here too.

clint, if you are going to trout fish i'm not sure if you'll need a trout stamp regardless of age. if you are you might want to check on that.

go to www.agfc.com and look for license and trout fishing.
