Texas requires a fishing license for anyone 17 or older who fishes in public water. That includes Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River in Comal County. Hunting also requires a valid license. Some species need extra stamps or endorsements on top of the basic license. TPWD — Texas Parks and Wildlife Department — sells licenses online, by phone, and at many local retailers.
