Got License?
Walleye really don’t care if you have a fishing license or not, but you can bet the government does. Freshwater prices should be correct as of 4/21/2020, but are subject to change (they always go up, never down, do they? ; ) ) Most offer special rates for Disabled Veterans, Seniors, Children under 18, etc. States offer day licenses in different combinations, 1,3,5,7 days. Not all are listed on this page, note asterisks * and check the web sites carefully for details.
