Young people across Pennsylvania enjoyed a day of fishing Saturday on Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day.

To participate, youth under the age of 16 must have either a free Mentored Youth Permit or a Voluntary Youth Fishing License, which costs $2.97, and be accompanied by a licensed adult angler.

For each Voluntary Youth License purchased (or voucher once it is redeemed), the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission receives $5 back in funding as a federal reimbursement. These funds are dedicated to be used in youth outreach and education programs.

The commission receives no federal reimbursement for Mentored Youth Permits.
