That's the maximum, there is no minimum in the regulations, but the child would need to land their own fish for quota purposes.

 A little off topic but does anyone else think the new licences are to big or is it only me?

Also , how hard is it to copy these new licenses now. All you need is a good photo copier. It's printed out on normal paper.

They are giant, It's almost impossible to carry in a wallet even after its folded 10 times.

Fold in three (two folds a third of the way in from top and bottom) in the 11" dimension, then fold twice across the 8" dimension (again a third in from each side) and it fits reasonably well.

i think he means for him to use 2 rods while bringing a child. the child can be any age, im assuming that the child's age should be around the time they are physically able to fish? so im saying 5+ years of age? lol and they would need to be carrying a free license im assuming.

 Only need to carry a free license in tidal waters . For non-tidal no license is required for the under aged angler and they also do not need to be with a licensed angler.

My three year old is casting and reeling in his own fish, although he refuses to touch them.  :D

My 7 year old son started casting and reeling in his own fish at 4 with a spinning set up and last fall he got his first on a level wind set up. And yes he did cast it and reeled in the fish all by himself.

You must have one thick wallet. Thats 9 thicknesses of paper just for your license.

Print it on tracing paper.  That should "thin" it a bit.
