hi kiwi

what sort of licence are you after?

If your talking about a SIP, get them on line from the DPI website for $35 a year.

PS Rumrunner right, I hope you dont want to get a Boat licence from BCF, they would charge the earth for one, cheapest method is out of a packet of Corn Flakes (Well thats about the value of the assessment!)

i dont think you need licences in all fresh water over here just some of them mainly down sth i thaught!

i would say just do it and if anyone askes just say sorry bro im a kiwi!

when i went to sommerset dam i had to pay a day licence to use the boat in the dam! so i guess if they want a licence for a sertain dam or river they will have signs saying if you do need a licence and where to get one locally from there!

goodluck on the freshies mate i might have to join you for a sesh one day!

cheers Ian

Depending on what dam you fish you will need a Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP)

Follow the link in Ferals post to the SIP. a SIP is required in a few of Queenslands dams, including Somerset, Wivenhoe, Borumba (toga!), and some likely dams up north like Monduran. For a list of dams you need a SIP for, see this site: Click Here

It only costs $35 a year for a permit, so even if you fish a couple of dams early with it, if you leave it in your wallet you dont have to think about a SIP until next year. I know I never even thought about a SIP when fishing Borumba, nor did I really care - had my yearly SIP in my wallet

Ignorance is not an excuse. You will find all boat ramps are clearly signed that a particular dam falls under the stocking scheme.

Cheers Terry:)

Looking at the list of licenced dams it appears that no licence is needed for NPD or Hinze dams,Bonus;)

[Feral]

Kiwifisho, just be careful, some dams have their own permit system scheme, Hinze being one - you have to buy permits off either the rangers or Gold Coast City Council. Also as someone mentioned some dams require permits for some types boats, Somerset for trailer boats, Baroon for electric boats etc etc.
