PA Senior Lifetime License/Trout Stamp/Erie Permit

[wbranch]

Hello all you PA fly fishers! Recently I saw in the PA Fish & Boat magazine that there will be a change in the trout stamp and Erie steelhead permit beginning January 01, 2015. Beginning on that date any senior who has not bought his lifetime license prior to 12/31/2014 will have to buy a new trout stamp and Erie steelhead permit every year. However if you happen to have already turned 65 years of age, or will be turning 65 before the end of 2014, you might want to consider buying your lifetime license, trout stamp, and Erie permit now as you will be granfathered and be safe from having to buy it every year.

I bought my combo license back in 2009 and paid a few dollars extra to get the one that resembles a credit card.

i have a lifetime and trout stamp, but not Lake Erie. I do have a Lifetime Upgrade...is that subject to the time limit if I wanted LE?
Hmm I should have gotten LE and no LU...duh.

You can also buy you lifetime license if during 2015 you turn 65 before the deadline.

Do you have to be 65 to buy a lifetime trout stamp?

 

[youffer]

The year that you turn 65.


My birthday is in Sept and I got mine in January of that year...

I thought the deadline was December 31, 2014. Did I read the article wrong?

You can buy next year’s license before Dec. 31. I think that’s what he means, but who knows. I doubt it applies to a lifetime licenses though.
