Colorado also requires anglers to purchase a Habitat Stamp for $10.59 once per season with any hunting or fishing license. This money goes toward a program that helps protect fish and wildlife habitats across the state.
Licenses can be purchased online here, by phone at 1-800-244-5613, at local CPW offices or at authorized sales agents around the state.

In Colorado, there are 35 species of both warm-water and cold-water fish that anglers have the possibility of catching, according to CPW. The organization stocks 90 million fish into Colorado streams, rivers and lakes annually.
CPW also offers a variety of classes and other events for those who want to get into fishing or those who want to get better at it.
“If you are new to fishing, there are many classes offered around the state,” CPW Angler Education Coordinator Andre Egli said in a release. “Classes are available for new anglers, families or seasoned anglers that want to learn a new technique like fly fishing.”
CPW fishing classes, events, seminars and tournaments are posted on the Fishing News and Events web page.
