Can somebody tell me what I need in the way of licenses/permits to fish for 3 days in December in West Virginia? My tired brain is not up to the task today.

Thanks!

You’ll need to register on the West Virginia DNR site. This is where you’ll buy your license and stamps:



This website gives the fee breakdowns:

But in summary, for non resident trout fishing, you’ll need:

1) Conservation Stamp: $13
2) Trout Stamp: $16
3) License ($3 a day for 3 days): $9

4)If the fishing will be in a national forest: $2

Hope this helps. I just did a little fishing this past weekend in WV at Seneca Lake so just had to look it all up.

It depends where you are fishing.  I think your MD license will be fine on the Potomac; there may be other reciprocity.  


If it’s your first time you’ll need to create an account.  

Cheers,

Thanks, Russell. That's a bit of change for 3 days. The bite would be less and more attractive if WV offered a 12-month long non-resident license.

Great point.

I'm not in Pennsylvania alot, but I ended up doing their 12-month non-resident for the same reason.
