I am a Florida resident. A 70 year old senior and as such I do not need to get a Florida Fishing License? Just wondering if I will need one in Georgia, being a senior and all. We will be camping a lake for a few days there next month and would like to bring the gear along but not just for the few days that we will be there.


Thanks Phil

Great question, I will do a quick search and let you know what I find!!

here is the answer straight from the DNR handbook concerning nonresident fishing license requirements:
"Nonresidents 16 years or older, regardless of physical condition, must have a current nonresident Georgia fishing license to fish in Georgia, except in private ponds."
