Whether you’re an in-state angler or visiting from out of state, knowing the rules, costs, and exemptions will help you focus on enjoying your family-friendly fishing adventure.

Who Needs a Fishing License in Alabama

In general, anyone 16 years or older must have a valid Alabama fishing license to fish in public waters, including lakes, rivers, and reservoirs like Eufaula Lake. Residents and non-residents are required to purchase a license, although some exemptions exist for youth, seniors, or disabled anglers. Children under 16 can usually fish without a license, and Alabama residents aged 65 or older may be eligible for free or reduced-cost licenses, depending on the program.

Where to Get an Alabama Fishing License

Alabama fishing licenses can be purchased online through the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources website, at local license agents, or at select sporting goods stores. It’s quick and convenient, and online purchases often allow you to print a temporary license immediately while waiting for your official card.

License Types and Costs

Alabama offers multiple license types:

  • Freshwater Fishing License: Required to fish in lakes and rivers, including Eufaula Lake.
  • Saltwater Fishing License: Needed if you plan to fish in coastal waters or the Gulf of Mexico.
  • Combination Licenses: Available for anglers who plan to fish both freshwater and saltwater.

Pricing varies for residents vs. non-residents. For example, a 1-year resident freshwater license typically costs around $15–$20, while a non-resident license may be $35–$50. Short-term or 1-day licenses are also available for visitors.

Special Exemptions

  • Youth: Anglers under 16 usually fish for free.
  • Seniors: Alabama residents 65+ may qualify for free or discounted licenses.
