Fishing License Required For 12-13 Year Olds

Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources provided the following information:

Beginning July 1, anglers who are 12 to 13 years old must have a fishing license to fish in Utah. The license will cost $5 for both residents and nonresidents.

"Every time a young angler buys one of these licenses, $12 in federal aid will come to Utah," said Karpowitz, director of the DWR. "We're going to invest that money in fish hatcheries, community fishing waters and other programs that will make fishing in Utah even better."
