Plan & pack

Stack your licenses. Print the checklist.

A multi-state trip means a license (and often a stamp) for every state you fish. Add each state, pick resident or nonresident, and we assemble the licenses, AIS / boat stamps, and saltwater stamps you need — plus border-water reciprocity hints — into one printable sheet.

Why this is the planning step others skip: no app totals a custom multi-state license stack with AIS stamps and reciprocity flags. This is your pre-trip buy list — screenshot or print it and you will not be turned away at the ramp.
Not legal advice. FishFig is an informational guide. License fees, size/bag limits, and seasons change yearly and vary by water, species, and zone. Always confirm the current rule with the state agency (linked on every regulations page) before you buy a license or keep fish. When in doubt, check the official source.

Add each state on your trip. We will list the license you need, the AIS / boat stamp (if required), any saltwater stamp, and a printable checklist — with a link to the official agency for every fee.

Frequently asked questions

Does one license cover more than one state?

Usually no — each state requires its own license once you are fishing in its waters. There are exceptions on shared border waters (for example Lake Texoma, the Ohio River main channel, Lake Powell) where a reciprocal permit or a single special license applies. The stacker flags shared border waters for each state and links to our reciprocity checker.

Are the fees exact?

They are the 2026 resident/nonresident annual fees published by each state agency, cited on every result. Short-term and senior rates are shown where verified. The total shown is a rough estimate of annual licenses plus AIS stamps — always confirm the exact amount and any combo licenses with the agency before you buy.

What about the AIS / boat stamp?

Many states require an Aquatic Invasive Species stamp or inspection decal on top of your fishing license when you launch a boat. The stacker pulls the AIS requirement for each selected state from our verified boat-inspection dataset, so your checklist is complete even if you are not bringing a boat (those states show "none required").

Is this legal advice?

No. FishFig is an informational guide. License requirements, stamps, and fees change yearly. Confirm the current rule with each state agency before you purchase.
