Thread: Dumb question

No, they are individual licenses

ok I have an equally dumb question then whats a husband and wife fishing license. Never heard of it they each buy a license like everyone else far as I know.

Joint Fishing (husband-wife)** - Available only to Kentucky residents. Costs 10% less than two fishing licenses bought separately.

It is just a discount to encourage couples to purchase fishing licenses. It works on me and my wife every year! Saves money for us and gets some of the intermittent fishermen and women to get licenses.

I would guess if either is caught without the license in possession, a ticket would be issued. Once in front of the judge and proof of license is presented, I would figure the ticket would be dismissed but who really wants to go to that hassle? My wife is not going to be fishing unless she is with me. I would think most men would want it that way.

You will each get you own license. But will save $4.00

What i meant was it gets them to purchase together most often earlier in the year. If one is an avid fisherman and the other is not, they might not buy their license early.

They need to do a husband/wife à la carte option when you buy. I get the sportsman's license every year but then have to pay full price for a fishing license for the wife if she wants to go.
