Fishing License Information
Meeting of the Great Rivers Scenic Byway Area
All sport fisherman must obtain a fishing license from the State
of Illinois, with the exception of anglers under 16 years of age, and persons
declared legally disabled or blind, who may fish without a license. Owners or
tenants (if they reside on the land) may fish in waters on or flowing over their
lands without a license. This exemption does not apply to club and
organizational lakes or lake developments. Persons on active duty in the Armed
Forces are considered residents. A person on active duty in the armed forces,
who entered the service from Illinois and is an Illinois resident, may fish
without a license while on leave. Non-residents holding a current Missouri
Fishing License can fish the Illinois side of the Mississippi River without
having an Illinois Fishing License.
