Everyone 17 or older needs a Texas fishing licence with a Freshwater Fishing endorsement — the resident freshwater package is about $30, an all-water package about $47, and a non-resident annual about $58. A 1-day all-water licence is about $16. No separate trout stamp. Buy from Texas Parks & Wildlife. A Texas fishing licence covers public rivers. In Texas a watercourse is public if it is 'navigable in fact' (roughly a 30-foot average bed) — you may wade and fish the bed and banks up to the gradient line, but adjacent land is usually private.
Every water carries species, bank & boat access, current regulations and live water conditions — and members get Swim Mapper, Catch Logger and Trip Planner. It's the only US map with a dedicated carp-water layer.
