Trout
A trout permit is required to fish for trout in certain waters (tailwaters below Beaver Lake, Bull Shoals Lake, Norfork Lake, Greers Ferry Lake, Lake Greeson or east of Highway 59 on Spavinaw Creek) or to keep trout from any Arkansas waters.
May be purchased for a resident aged 10 and younger, entitling him or her to the privileges of the Resident Sportsman’s License (hunting) and the Resident Fisheries Conservation License (fishing) for the rest of his or her life. Fees for trout permits, leased lands permits, alligator permits, elk permits, state waterfowl stamps and wildlife management area permit hunts are included with this license. License holders must apply, however, for WMA hunts, be successfully drawn and return notification of acceptance before being issued a permit. Once the license holder turns 16 years of age, Harvest Information Program (HIP) registration will be required to hunt migratory game birds and federal waterfowl stamps will still be required to hunt waterfowl.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's mission is to conserve and enhance Arkansas's fish and wildlife and their habitats while promoting sustainable use, public understanding and support.
