With some of the most untouched&nbsp; wildlife and best managed fisheries in the world,&nbsp;&nbsp; it&rsquo;s no wonder why so many people go fishing in&nbsp; Alaska each year. Without a doubt, the biggest&nbsp;&nbsp; bonus is the amount of fishing opportunities&nbsp; available throughout the state. However,&nbsp;&nbsp; no matter where you want to explore, you&rsquo;ll need&nbsp; to get yourself an Alaska fishing license first.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn this video, we&rsquo;re going to address some&nbsp; of your most common questions about getting&nbsp;&nbsp; a fishing license in the state of Alaska.&nbsp; You may be wondering which type of license&nbsp;&nbsp; you should get, or if you even need one&nbsp; at all. After watching today&rsquo;s video,&nbsp;&nbsp; you&rsquo;ll have all the answers, so you&rsquo;ll be&nbsp; able to spend less time wondering about&nbsp;&nbsp; the ins-and-outs of fishing here,&nbsp; and more time actually fishing! &nbsp; For more angling videos like this,&nbsp; be sure to like and subscribe below!\r\n\r\nSo, who needs a fishing license in&nbsp; Alaska? All residents over the age of 18,&nbsp;&nbsp; along with non-residents over the age of 16&nbsp; need to obtain a license to fish in fresh&nbsp;&nbsp; and saltwater. This is the same whether&nbsp; you&rsquo;re fishing alone or on a charter. However,\r\n\r\nthere are a few exceptions that allow&nbsp; some anglers to fish without a license.\r\n\r\nThis&nbsp;&nbsp; includes senior Alaska residents (aged&nbsp; 60 and older) who hold a Senior Permanent&nbsp;&nbsp; Identification Card, as well as Alaskan&nbsp; disabled veterans with a veteran&rsquo;s license. Residents under the age of 18, as well as&nbsp; non-residents under the age 16 don&rsquo;t need a&nbsp;&nbsp; license to fish here. These groups are also&nbsp; exempt from purchasing a King Salmon Stamp,&nbsp;&nbsp; but will still need to obtain a Harvest record&nbsp; card. The Stamp is also not required if you&rsquo;re&nbsp;&nbsp; the holder of an Alaska sport fishing&nbsp; license for the blind and\/or low-income.&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow that you know whether you&rsquo;ll be&nbsp; needing an Alaska fishing license or not,&nbsp;&nbsp; it&rsquo;s time to find out which specific one you need. Different types of Alaska fishing&nbsp; licenses are available for residents,&nbsp;&nbsp; non-residents, those in active duty in&nbsp; the military, and disabled anglers. Fees&nbsp;&nbsp; vary depending on the type and length&nbsp; of the license, as well as your age. You can prove your residency&nbsp; through any state-issued ID card,&nbsp;&nbsp; or legal document confirming your status.&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThere are a variety of reasons why you may&nbsp;&nbsp; be considered a resident of Alaska,&nbsp; but the main one is that you&rsquo;ve had a&nbsp;&nbsp; registered address in the state for 12 months&nbsp; or more. Among others, military personnel who&nbsp;&nbsp; have been stationed in Alaska for the past&nbsp; 12 months are also considered residents. If you&rsquo;re a resident of Alaska, the&nbsp; only fishing license you can purchase&nbsp;&nbsp; is an Annual Sport Fishing License. You&rsquo;ll&nbsp; also have the option of purchasing combined&nbsp;&nbsp; hunting and fishing licenses.\r\n\r\nIf you&rsquo;re&nbsp; a non-resident, there&rsquo;s a good variety&nbsp;&nbsp; of fishing permits for you to choose from.&nbsp; You can cast your line for just a couple of&nbsp;&nbsp; days or opt for an annual license. Just&nbsp; keep in mind that you won&rsquo;t be eligible&nbsp;&nbsp; for certain license types, such as for the&nbsp; ones for low-income and blind residents. Some Rainbow Trout and King Salmon fisheries have&nbsp; annual harvest limits that need to be recorded.&nbsp;&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAlong with your fishing license, you may need&nbsp; to obtain a Sport Fishing Harvest Record Card,&nbsp;&nbsp; which is available online, at Fish and&nbsp; Game offices, and at license vendors. The Harvest Record Card is free of&nbsp; charge for resident anglers under&nbsp;&nbsp; 18 and non-resident anglers under 16,&nbsp; along with senior residents and disabled&nbsp;&nbsp; veterans with Alaska Department of Fish&nbsp; and Game Permanent Identification Cards. If you are planning on fishing&nbsp; for Chinook Salmon in Alaska,&nbsp;&nbsp; keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll also need to&nbsp; purchase a current annual King Salmon&nbsp;&nbsp; Stamp ahead of time. This applies&nbsp; to both residents and non-residents.\r\n\r\nFinally, if you&#039;re a resident of Canada&#039;s Yukon&nbsp; Territory, you can purchase non-resident licenses&nbsp;&nbsp; and Salmon Stamps at the same cost as residents. Prices for different license types vary. An annual&nbsp;&nbsp; resident license is available for about twenty&nbsp; bucks, while non-resident will have to pay&nbsp;&nbsp; around a hundred dollars. Fees for short-term&nbsp; licenses available to non-residents range from&nbsp;&nbsp; about $15 for a single day of fishing to just&nbsp; under $50 for a weekly permit.\r\n\r\nThe Department&nbsp;&nbsp; of Fish and Game uses these funds to support&nbsp; management and research of Alaska&rsquo;s fish and&nbsp;&nbsp; wildlife resources &ndash; so you can continue to fish&nbsp; here productively for many more years to come. For a detailed price breakdown of the different&nbsp; licenses available in Alaska, as well as how&nbsp;&nbsp; much they cost right now, check out our blog&nbsp; article linked in the description box below.&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhen the time comes to get your own license, the&nbsp; state of Alaska has plenty of options. The best&nbsp;&nbsp; part about getting your Alaska fishing license is&nbsp; that in most cases, it&rsquo;s already included in the&nbsp;&nbsp; price of your fishing charter.\r\n\r\nThat is, of course,&nbsp; if you decide to book a trip with a licensed&nbsp;&nbsp; captain, guide, or outfitter. In any case, be sure&nbsp; to check with your captain before heading out. If you&rsquo;re fishing without a guide,&nbsp; you can easily get your license and&nbsp;&nbsp; stamps online or in person &ndash;&nbsp; at Fish and Game offices and&nbsp;&nbsp; at most sporting goods stores. Harvest&nbsp; Record Cards are also available online.\r\n\r\nYou can get a carbon copy of your&nbsp; license at select vendors and Alaska&nbsp;&nbsp; Department of Fish anf Game offices. Alternatively, you can purchase your&nbsp;&nbsp; license in PDF format online, and download and&nbsp; sign it through your phone or print and sign a&nbsp;&nbsp; paper copy. Finally, If you have an ADF&amp;G account,&nbsp; you can get an eSigned form on the online store. Alaskans over the age of 18 and visitors&nbsp; over the age of 16, with a few exceptions,&nbsp;&nbsp; are required to carry a fishing license in Alaska In most cases, your fishing license and permits&nbsp;&nbsp; are already included in the price of your&nbsp; charter if you&rsquo;re fishing with a licensed guide&nbsp; Out-of-state anglers have a&nbsp; wider selection of licenses&nbsp;&nbsp; when it comes to the length of their validity And you can buy a license online or in person&nbsp; You&rsquo;re about ready to go!&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSo, as you can see, getting an Alaska fishing&nbsp; license isn&rsquo;t all that hard.
