Fishing is a fun activity for Iowans in the summer months and the Department of Natural Resources discusses ways to acquire licenses.
Guthrie County DNR Conservation Officer Jeremy King states times have changed and the easiest way to buy a fishing license is digitally. He describes the best practices to be able to fish legally.
“You can screenshot it (on your smart device) as long as you know how to mark it up on a phone and sign it with your finger, because it is not a valid licenses until it is signed and the third option besides going to a vendor or buying it online is going to the Iowa DNR app and if you go into your app store it’s called Go Outdoors IA.”
King adds you must have a valid fishing license in order to fish anywhere in Iowa. For more information visit the links provided here.
