Purchasing a non-resident license online (ahead of time) ?

[fishwendel]

Does the State of NY have a website that a non-resident can purchase a fishing license? Also, anyone know the cost for 1 week non-resident? I thought it was $25. Thanks! See ya on the river Saturday

You'd think they'd have on-line licenses by now... but they don't. You are corect, it's $25

Everything you want to know is here:

WOW, I stand corrected. When did they start that? You'd think it'd be easier to find

You need to have an Id # off of a current non res NY license in order to purchase online. It is a great way to go to avoid the lines at the tackle shop. It takes 2 weeks to get the license in the mail, but you can print a reciept, and use that in the mean time.
