Maine Lifetime Fishing License — Best Value Analysis
The Maine fishing license lifetime for adults ($800) pays for itself in ~32 years. But start young: the infant lifetime ($150) or junior lifetime ($300) lock in decades of fishing. And the senior 70+ lifetime at $8 is the single best deal in all US fishing licensing — it covers ALL outdoor activities forever.
Saltwater: Already Included!
Unlike Massachusetts ($10 extra) or New Hampshire ($11 extra), Maine's saltwater fishing license is included automatically with your freshwater license. Saltwater-only anglers can register separately for just a $2 service fee.
Compare: New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts.
