Do You Still Have to Have Your Fishing License on You at all times while fishing

2-3-2012
CDFG

Question: While buying my license recently, I was told by the vendor that we no longer need to carry our fishing licenses with us. He said game wardens can now scan people's California driver licenses (CDL) to verify the purchase. Is this true?

Answer: No, you are required to have your actual sport fishing license in possession while fishing (CCR Title 14, Section 700) and to present your actual license upon request to any game warden who asks (FGC, Section 2012). Department of Fish and Game (DFG) game wardens do not carry CDL scanners.
