PENNSYLVANIA — It's now possible to reel in 2021 fishing licenses. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission announced that licenses, permits, and vouchers can be purchased online at www.fishandboat.com or from one of nearly 700 retail license issuing agents. Purchases now are valid immediately through Dec. 31, 2021. "Whether you're looking to get a jump on next season, or you've got holiday gift giving in mind, a fishing license or voucher will keep you and others connected to the outdoors," Amber Nabors, Director of the PFBC Bureau of Outreach, Education, and Marketing, said in a news release. "When you buy a fishing license now, you really get the most value for your dollar and you'll be covered for every fishing season for the rest of this year and next year." The cost of annual resident fishing licenses will remain $22.90 in 2021. Multi-year options are also available in three, five and 10-year increments. The most popular add-ons, a trout permit, and a Lake Erie permit cost $9.90 each, or $15.90 for a combination permit which includes both. Licenses can be printed immediately upon purchase or saved digitally to a smart device which serves as proof of possession. In addition to licenses and permits, such as the trout or Lake Erie permits, customers may choose to purchase vouchers that can be given as gifts and be redeemed by recipients. "Vouchers make great gifts for the avid angler in your life, but they can also be a great way to introduce someone new the sport," said Nabors.
