Whether or not you should purchase a daily fishing license or a 12-month license depends on how much you are going to fish the next 12 months. A 12-month license is valid from the day you purchase through that date the following year.

Residents: If you are going to fish one to six days you should purchase daily licenses; but, if you are going to fish seven or more days you should purchase a 12-month license.  As a resident, a daily license costs $6 a day while a 12-month license costs $27. If you do not already have a conservation stamp, you are required to purchase one with your 12-month license for $12.50 which brings your 12-month license total to $39.50.

Nonresidents: If you are going to fish in Wyoming one to three days you should purchase daily licenses or if you are going to fish four to five days you should purchase the 5-day license. But, if you are going to fish six or more days you should purchase an annual license.  As a nonresident you are able to purchase a daily license for $14 a day, a 5-day license for $56, or a 12-month license for $102. If you do not already have a conservation stamp you would need to purchase one with your 12-month license bringing your 12-month license total to $114.50.  

Whichever license you decide to purchase you’ll get to enjoy Wyoming’s wonderful fishing opportunities!
