To fish legally in Boston waters, anglers must obtain a valid Massachusetts fishing license. The license is required for residents and non-residents aged 15 and older who wish to fish in freshwater or saltwater areas.

Licenses can be purchased online through the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game website, at authorized license vendors, or at select town clerk offices. Fees vary based on residency status, age, and duration of the license.

Massachusetts offers annual, 3-day, and 1-day fishing license options. Senior citizens and disabled persons may qualify for reduced fee licenses. All license holders must carry their license while fishing and present it to conservation officers upon request.
