MA freshwater fishing license: display?

[Mass-diver]

Just got my MA FW license (going to start fishing with my 6yo daughter). I ourchased it online and printed it. I remember a million years ago you put a copy (laminated) on a pin and displayed it on your hat. I assume this is no longer the case?

Thanks!

just need to have a copy of it on you or on your phone

Going even further back it was a card with your information written out. You would go to the town hall to get it. They would give you a red plastic case with a clear window to put it in.

Good job, Dad. She'll remember fishin' with her dad.

and you need to show each fish you catch the copy or they will report you.

I used my phone and never had a problem. Just hope the battery doesn't die. Haha

I got my sporting and salt a couple of weeks ago. I still have two of those pin displays. Well, that is to say I had two, I can find my salt licence from last year but cannot find my sporting. Wondering if it's in the wife's car...lol

But yeah, I think you just need to be able to display the fishing license on the iphone or have a paper copy on you but I don't think they need to be displayed anymore like they used to have to be.

Make sure the iphone is waterproof.

I got my sporting and my free salt water license last week. I want to take the grand kids out soon.

Today you can just download the PDF to your phone for fishing or hunting. Of course if the game you hunting requires a tag you will need the printed copy.

I typically print a couple one to keep in my ice fishing suit and one in my tackle box for freshwater fishing, you never know if you'll lose one. Keeping in your phone too is handy, they're pretty good about if you forget it though. I know the EPO asked my father and I for ours one year ice fishing and he had forgotten his, the EPO just called it in and he was on his way after confirmation that he had one. My daughter is four and I took her out for her first ice fishing adventure this passed winter and she had a ball can't wait to get her in the boat now.

I found both old ones and updated them.

I haven't found the vintage red ones they used to have but I did find these....

No, there is no need to display your fishing license anymore. When I was young it was a cool thing to wear the red plastic case with your license. I haven't been asked to see mine (in MA) for many many years.
