License Question

[sfiser]

my girlfriend and live in Arkansas and travel to Roaring River to fish often. We both have nonresident licenses and trout permits. If we wanted to take her nephews up there (both 3 and 5 years old) to fish for an hour or 2 over the weekend, would they need a license or a trout permit?? I know in Arkansas you dont need anything till you are 16, just not sure if missouri works the same way.

Non-resident children 15 and under do not need a fishing license. As far as I know however there is no exemption for the trout tag or stamp.

Everyone needs a daily park trout tag, even youth...If you fish outside the park though, only youth 6-15 need the $3.50 stamp...

Unless something has changed, you don't need a daily tag to fish during C&R. You would need trout stamp to keep fish outside the park, otherwise you should be fine with your license and trout stamp. Kids don't need anything at RR (during C&R only).

I took my son fishing the C&R season all the time and was under the impression he needed the $3.50 trout stamp to fish C&R in the park. We have been checked a few times. I would spend the $7.00 and get the tags.

Everyone regardless of age has to have a Missouri trout tag to fish during the C&R season at RRSP. Chances are the youngster won't get checked, but better to be safe than sorry. I'd just stop at Wally World and pick one up

15 and younger need only a trout permit (stamp) $7.00 for the C&R season

Doesn't make a difference what state your from.
