Fishing Licence
| Do I Need a Licence? A Recreational Fishing Licence (RFL) covers, all forms of recreational fishing in all of Victoria's marine, estuarine and freshwaters. Unless you are exempt, a RFL is required when taking, or attempting to take, any species of fish by any method including line fishing, bait collection, gathering shellfish, yabby fishing, prawning and spear fishing. What Happens if I Don't Have a Licence? Fisheries Officers will be on patrol to ensure fishers hold a valid licence. Penalties apply for fishing without a licence. How do I Obtain a Licence? Victorian anglers now have the option to buy a three-year Recreational Fishing Licence for $66. This presents a saving of $7.50 on the combined cost of purchasing three annual licences. Anglers can still buy the one-year RFL for $24.50, the 28-day RFL for $12, and the 2-day RFL for $6. The RFL may be purchased to come into effect on a future date for up to one year from the date of purchase. An RFL may not be loaned or transferred to another person. The RFL is available from many DPI offices and more than 980 retail businesses throughout Victoria, including most retail fishing tackle stores. |  |
