Camp and Cast
Pennsylvania is a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Turn your next wilderness camping trip into a full-weekend adventure by packing your rod and reel alongside your hiking boots or mountain bike.
With thousands of miles of trails located just steps away from prime fishing waters like Pine Creek or the Delaware River, it's easy to step off the trail and cast a line.
Fishing License Options
Whether you are a Pennsylvania resident or visit Pennsylvania to fish, there are lots of license options to choose from. Buy an annual or multi-year license. Senior citizens enjoy discounted licenses, and are eligible for a lifetime license. In addition, special licenses are available for disabled veterans.
Let the Water Take You Far
Go with the flow or just coast into some quiet time along Pennsylvania's waterways. Buy a 2026 Launch Permit.
Add on to a License with Fishing Permits
When fishing for trout and the waters of Lake Erie, Presque Isle Bay and their tributaries, including waters that flow into those tributaries, anglers need a valid Trout Permit, Lake Erie Permit or Combination Trout/Lake Erie Permit.
