The rule today
In Georgia, you need a freshwater fishing license from age 16 (residents age 16 to 64 must have one to fish fresh and salt waters; residents 65+ buy a discounted senior license; residents and nonresidents 15 and under are exempt). Licenses are issued by the GA Dept. of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Div. (WRD).
