IYAOYAS Posted March 15 Posted March 15 So I know some of us carry multiple state licenses each year. Do you just get the license for the time you'll be fishing? Get a yearly nonresident? Also what states do you keep a license in? I am fortunate to live in Western North Carolina which is a very central location to many legendary bass fishing lakes. My dad lives in KY and my wife's family live in Virginia Beach so I keep multiple states yearly licenses each year. I have a lifetime license in NC and I live just across the border into NC above Hartwell so I keep a SC yearly nonres license as well. Kentucky gets a yearly nonres license but Virginia usually just gets a license for when I actually take my boat since my brother in law is a guide on the Chesapeake bay and usually I'm fishing salt(which is covered by his boat license) when we go visit the inlaws.

Super User Tennessee Boy Posted March 15 Super User Posted March 15 I bought a lifetime Alabama license when I lived there 30 years ago. Very glad I did. I occasionally fish in Kentucky but not enough to justify an annual license. Oh yeah, I also carry a Tennessee license. 1 Quote

Super User Bird Posted March 15 Super User Posted March 15 Lifetime VA license. Yearly non resident WV license. What's odd, VA is a rolling year, year from date of purchase. WV is a calendar year, ends the last day of December regardless of date of purchase. 1 Quote
