A Class F license is a nonresident fishing license and entitles the licensee to fish for all legal fish except trout and to take frogs, in all counties of the state except as prohibited by rules of the Director or Natural Resources Commission and except when additional licenses, stamps or permits are required. The fee for the license is $35. To fish for trout, a Class F license holder must purchase and carry a valid Class OO trout stamp. This is a base license and does not require the purchase of a prerequisite license to participate in the activities specified in this section, except as noted.
