Fishing License

As a California Fish and Wildlife Agent, there is no need for you to make a special trip to get a fishing license before your trip. We can take care of that for you in the tackle shop at check-in.

Whether you are just going out fishing for the day, or it’s time for your annual license, we are available during our normal operating hours for sportsfishing licensing, commercial fishermen  and their boat registrations, as well as the hunters who have licensing and tag needs…all licenses are available CASH ONLY however.
