FISHING

A valid Maine fishing license is required for anyone 16 years of age or older, to fish in inland waters or transport fish taken from inland waters. Residents and nonresidents may obtain fishing licenses from our Town Clerk or purchase online. A person is required to keep their fishing license with them at all times while fishing or transporting fish, and must exhibit their license for inspection by any warden, department employee, guide, or landowner upon request. An electronic license or permit can now be displayed in lieu of a physical paper license or permit.
