Title: Do my kids need fishing licenses?
Post by: TeacherMan on April 21, 2018, 06:09:15 PM: Opening weekend being just around the corner I’m getting them ready to go fishing. I’ll be bringing a 7, 11, and 12 year old with me. I have my license do they need one? Do they get their own limits? Just figuring I’ll take them to one of the local lakes around Spokane for trout.

Thank you! I read the webpage but didn’t see anything about kids and limits. I know we don’t need catch Record cards for trout so good there.
