ARIZONA FISHING LAWS AND REGULATIONS
Fishing regulations are put into place to help conserve and protect state fisheries. Anytime you plan a fishing trip, be sure to check the current set of fishing regulations since the rules can change based on fish populations and seasons.

IT’S NOT A FEE, IT’S A CONTRIBUTION
Since there will be times when you catch fish that are not within state regulations or when you are purely fishing for sport, it is important to educate yourself on catch and release best practices. By understanding these tools and tips, you can help increase the chances that a released fish will survive so that it can breed or be caught another day by another angler.
