accompanied by a licensed angler 2) Any fish caught had to be counted as part of the licensed angler’s bag limit 3) Children ages six through eleven could fish without a license and take half a bag limit and 4) A twelve needed a license to fish Those regulations no longer apply in 1996 There is no longer any stipulation for a youngster to be accompanied by a licensed angler and the license requirement has been delayed until the angler is For those expecting grandchildren or other guests from in ’96 the law treats them the same as residents Until children are 14 they don't need a license
