Yes, anglers fishing in Kentucky need a valid state fishing license, even on private waters.

Resident, non-resident, and short-term licenses are usually available online from the state agency. Our Kentucky fishing license guide at /us/blog/kentucky-fishing-license-guide covers current prices, where to buy, and who is exempt.
