The National Forest Stamp
If you plan to fish (or hunt) within the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests, you must purchase a $4 National Forest Stamp in addition to your standard fishing and trout licenses.
Saltwater Boat Licenses
Virginia offers a Saltwater Boat Sport Fishing License ($126). This covers the owner and ALL passengers on board that specific registered vessel. If your buddy has this on his boat, you do not need an individual saltwater license while fishing with him.
