Step-by-Step
How to Get a Trout Stamp in Hawaii
Follow these steps to purchase and use your trout stamp in Hawaii:
1
Confirm If a Stamp Is Required
Hawaii does not currently require a separate trout stamp for most anglers. A standard fishing license covers trout fishing in most waters. Review the specific regulations for any special trout management areas you plan to fish.
2
Purchase Your Fishing License First
A valid Hawaii fishing license is required before you can add a trout stamp. Purchase your license online at Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources's website, at a licensed sporting goods retailer, or at a regional agency office. Licenses are available for residents and nonresidents.
3
Add the Trout Stamp
No separate trout stamp purchase is needed. Your standard fishing license covers trout fishing.
4
Know Your Waters & Regulations
Review the annual fishing regulations booklet for size and bag limits on trout species. Some waters have special restrictions including catch-and-release only sections, artificial lures only, or delayed harvest periods.
