Resident Fees 2008
NonResident Fees 2008

To buy a resident fishing license a person must actually live within and be a bona fide resident of South Dakota for at least 90 days with the intent to make it home, have a South Dakota Driver's license, have their motor vehicles register in South Dakota and not claim residency in any other state.

To buy a license, a resident needs a valid South Dakota driver's license or a state-issued and expiration-dated South Dakota ID card. Either can be obtained at a state driver’s license office.

Any person who has lawfully acquired a resident fishing license and leaves the state after acquiring the license to take up residency elsewhere may continue to exercise all the privileges granted by the license until the license expires if the person’s respective privileges are not revoked or suspended.
