Title: Fishing License hotline
Post by: Geff_t on September 09, 2009, 12:01:40 PM
Thought that I would post this up for everyone. This is the number for the government agency in case you have lost your license and you do not know your angler number. 1-877-855-3222. Call during business hours and they will be able to give you your angler number, that way you will not have to purchase a new license.

You don't have to purchase a new license, Jut go online and print an other one.

  Thats right but you need your angler number. If you lost your license and do not have your angler number then you could phone this number and they can check their data base and find your angler number for you. You can then go on-line and print off a new one.

You can purchase Fresh or tidal water license online now.

I never used my e-mail address during the purchase of my license nor do they ask when buying from a vendor.
