North Carolina's new fishing laws for 2007 offers aid to families with low incomes. Families who receive food stamps, Medicaid or participate in Work First Family Assistance are eligible for an exemption which allows them to fish without a license. This exemption does not cover trout fishing though.
Many low income families help supplement their diets with fishing, so North Carolina is trying to help these families through this waiver. Any family member who benefits from the resident recieving these benefits, may also receive a waiver. The waiver is only good for one year. After which, low incomes families must reapply if they still qualify.
