365-day fishing license law signed by Gavin Newsom

“I think it incentivizes people to go fishing,” said Aaron Ostrum of Pacific Outfitters, which sells the licenses.

While I'm not the biggest fan of my state's governor, I do appreciate him signing the approval of a 365 day fishing license.

Wyoming does the same for conservation and small game licenses.

Arizona has the same 365 day license. I get the resident hunt/fish combo for $57. There is always something to hunt or fish in this state.

California used to run July 1st to June 30th, didn't it? That has always worked out effectively a 365 to me.

Hunting license is July 1st to June 30th. But fishing license is Jan. 1 to Dec 30th. It's still 365 days but for people who don't fish much they are less likely to buy a fishing license if they were to buy one late in the year and it's only good for a couple months. With this new law your 365 days starts from the date you buy it.

It really is a small thing that impacts how many people go fishing - or, put differently, how many people BUY a license late in the year. A politician like Newsome is doing this purely for financial reasons. However, I would like it if it were adopted across the country - it is very practical and with today's computer technology very easy to do.
