What age can you fish?

Fishing license and regulation requirements vary by state or province. In many places, people under a certain age are exempt from fishing license requirements, but there are regulations about age limits for fishing and the type of fishing that can be done. These regulations are to ensure the safety of children and to protect fish populations. In general, the minimum age to fish in most states or provinces is between 12 and 16. However, there are variations.

* In some states or provinces, there is no minimum age to fish. This means that anyone, regardless of age, can fish as long as they have a valid fishing license.

* In other states or provinces, the minimum age to fish varies depending on the type of fishing being done. For example, the minimum age to fish with bait may be lower than the minimum age to fish with lures or to spearfish.

* In some states or provinces, there is a junior fishing license available to children under a certain age. This type of license usually has lower fees and fewer restrictions than a regular fishing license.

So, if you're interested in fishing, it's important to check the fishing regulations in your state or province to find out what the minimum age to fish is.
