Fishing the Colorado River

October 12, 2017

Question: I have an annual California fishing license and I’ll be fishing in the Colorado River in Marble Canyon and Lees Ferry, Arizona. Is there a way to add whatever I need for just three days of fishing there? (Mary Phillips)

Answer: Both of these areas are well within Arizona, so California laws do not apply. You will need to obtain an Arizona fishing license and check with the Arizona Game and Fish Department for their regulations. They can be found at www.azgfd.com.

Hard to believe that a CA fishing license won't work in the middle of Arizona...
