If you are interested in purchasing an annual fishing permit, please visit the Voice of America Welcome Center during business hours. Children 10 years and younger are permitted to fish for free but only as catch and release unless they are fishing with an adult who has paid for a Single Daily Fishing Permit or has an Annual Fishing Permit.
