archer379 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 This just came up today i couldn't see anywhere in the regulation book on this so i thought i would ask here. My father in law and i are heading out saterday for some pike and he is saying that he doesn't need a licence because he is disabled. does any body know the rules for disabled persons and fishing licences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb4me Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I would say he does..However after saying that i'd be inclined to call and ask. www.boatsmartexam.com look up the contact us info. Give them a call they will tell you. Hey what about non residence boaters? do they need a boat licence? Edit.. I just read it again and the question is about a fishing licence. Im sure there is a certian age that they dont need one. Kids up to 18 dont so im sre there is a ripe old age where you dont need one anymore..Good question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 He has to carry a copy of his handicap permit and id.. and that becomes his fishing licence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptackle Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Page 4 of the regs exempts (deems to be licensed) disabled Ontario and Canadian residents with CNIB cards, MTO handicapped parking permit holders etc. etc. They have to carry something that proves the disability (photocopy of parking permit or appropriate government cards) and have full license status.

Billy Bob Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Anyone who gets stopped needs some kind of license...LOL BTW NYS has changed their laws just this week on who is eligible for a NYS Park Access Pass....I am no longer eligible since I am not BLIND or DEAF or have limbs missing from my body...just because the Federal Government says I am disabled and haven't worked on the RR for the last 7 years mean NOTHING to the bastar*s in Albany...and then they closed SEVERAL parks here that I like to launch from...paying taxes to NYS for over 30 years means nothing to them as they took my ONLY perk away from me this week. I am now off my rant (and off my rocker) Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish_fishburn Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 I think if your 65yrs of age or older you do not need a fishing licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbac31 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Under 18 years and over 65 you dont need a licence. If you are disabled you dont need one. You do however need to carry a copy of your permit or something thats states you are disabled plus your ID. Both my parents do this when out with me and have been checked several times.

shane Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Isn't there something that says you don't need a license if you are mentally infirm? I've been using that one for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbac31 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 That would mean alot of us will or should be fishing for free. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm crazy and I'll be the first to admit it. Wonder if they'll refund all the fees I've paid if I tell them I'm of my rocker ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to work with a guy on the RR...Freddy had spent time in the nut house and use to say "I have papers stating I'm no longer insane, what do you have".

shane Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I once tried to have myself declared as a schizophrenic so that I could declare myself as a dependent on my income tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
