Frequently asked questions

How much is a fishing license in Connecticut?

An annual resident fishing license is $28; non-residents pay $63. Short-term (1-day/7-day) licenses are usually available for less. Trout/salmon stamps may be extra where required.

How much is a hunting license in Connecticut?

The annual resident hunting license is $19 ($91 non-resident) — but that's the base license. Deer, elk, turkey, and other big-game tags are purchased separately and often cost more than the license itself, especially for non-residents.

Is there a combined hunting and fishing license in Connecticut?

Yes — the resident combo/sportsman license is $38, cheaper than buying both separately.

Who sells licenses in Connecticut?

The Connecticut DEEP — online, plus license agents (sporting-goods stores, some retailers). Federal requirements like the $25 duck stamp for waterfowl are bought separately.
