Support the Sport, Buy a Fishing License! Your purchase supports angler education for youth and adults, fish stocking, and habitat restoration. A valid fishing license is required for people ages 17 and older to take fish, mussels, clams, crayfish or other aquatic life in the public waters of Texas. Protect fish and fish habitats: • Use barbless or circle hooks. • Play and land the fish quickly. • Use wet hands to handle the fish. • Properly dispose of litter and recycle fishing line. • Dump unused bait in trash or on land far removed from the water. Do not return to the water. For more information on fishing licenses, reports, regulations or education: www.tpwd.texas.gov/fishing Keep current with all Texas hunting and fishing regulations.
