Again the Department Of Inland
Fisheries and Game finds It necessary
to issue warning to camp and hotel
prOprietors to see that all Of their
resident guests, is years of age
and over. are equipped with the fish
ing license required by the Inland
Fish and Game laws of the State of
Maine. These laws require all non
residents except children under six
teen years Of age TO procure a $3.15
fishing license before they can legally
fish in any inland waters in Maine
These licenses expire with the cal
endar year in which issued
The possession of fishing tackle j
the fields or forests, or on the waters
or ice OF the State, by nonresident
who is required TO be licensed in or
der to fish. Is prima facie evidence Of
fishing, therefore. fishermen should
be sure To take their fishing licenses
with them when starting out fishing
and thus avoid delay or interruption
when inspected by Wardens.
The penalty for fishing without a
license is not less than $1,000 nor
more than $4,000 and costs for each
offense, and sL00 additional for each
fish taken or had in possession in yio
lation of this law.
In reply to an inquiry as 10 where a
nonresident (Out-of- State) fisherman
can procure fishing licenses informa-
ton was given at the Department that
there are approximately 500 agents in
the State who handle these licenses.
They are on sale also at several large
sporting goods dealers outside of
Maine. The principal camps and ho-
tells in the prominent fishing regions
also many town clerks and sporting
goods dealers, etc. are agents for the
licenses in Maine.
