How Much is a TFF Permit in California?
If you're planning on fishing in California, you're going to need a TFF permit. But how much does it cost? Well, it depends on a few factors, like whether you're a resident or non-resident, and whether you're fishing for freshwater or saltwater fish.
Resident vs. Non-Resident
If you're a California resident, you're going to get a better deal on your TFF permit than if you're a non-resident. That's just the way it is. Residents pay $49.50 for a one-year permit, while non-residents have to shell out $156.50. Ouch!
Freshwater vs. Saltwater
If you're only going to be fishing for freshwater fish, you can get a Freshwater Fishing Only permit for $25.50. But if you want to be able to fish for both freshwater and saltwater fish, you'll need to get the full-blown One-Year Fishing License for $49.50 (residents) or $156.50 (non-residents).
Other Fees and Permits
In addition to the TFF permit, you may also need to get a fishing stamp or endorsement for certain types of fish. For example, if you want to fish for salmon, you'll need to get a salmon stamp. And if you want to fish for sturgeon, you'll need to get a sturgeon endorsement.
