You can purchase a variety of licenses, including single-day licenses, annual licenses, and multi-year licenses, depending on the length of your stay or how often you plan to fish in Tennessee. Once purchased, you can print your license or show it digitally on your smartphone.
2. Local Retailers: You can also purchase a fishing license in person at numerous local retailers, such as sporting goods stores, tackle shops, or convenience stores that are authorized by the TWRA. Just ask for a fishing license when you’re in the store, and the staff will assist you in choosing the appropriate license for your trip.
