Im a recreational fisher. Do I need a licence or permit to go fishing in Queensland?
Not if you fish in tidal waters. However, if you fish in certain dams – those that people have stocked with fish – you will need a Stocked Impoundment Permit (impoundment just means a dam or weir). Also, some local councils require a permit to fish in dams under their control. Check with the local Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol office for up-to-date information.
