Say I'm going camping for a week, June 27th-July 4th and won't be near an academy. Do I have to buy 2 licenses? If I can buy next years early, how early can I buy it and is it good from when I buy it or just when July 1 hits?

You can fish without a license June 11-12 this year. I think after that, your license purchase counts for the next year.

The ldwf site shows that Fishing licenses expire on June 30th. So if you bought a license on June 23, it would only be good for a week. They don't have any type of pro rating system, which sucks.

I could've sworn if you buy in June, you are good for 13 months.

A fishing license purchased in June of 2016 will expire June 30 2017. Just don't buy one in May.

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but....
I once needed a new fishing license. I was at the camp and decided to go fishing and didn't have a license for the new year. I bought one online on my phone and took a screen shot for proof. I'd imagine they can run your liscense to see if you're current.

I know I know. That sticker shock of $500 is tough to swallow. I know I'd save money in the long run...
