Within Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, a valid New York or Pennsylvania fishing license is required for all anglers, age 16 and older, on the sections of the Delaware River between New York and Pennsylvania when fishing from a boat or from either shore.

To the south, including in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, a Pennsylvania or New Jersey fishing license is valid in the Delaware River (including estuary) between New Jersey and Pennsylvania when fishing from a boat or from either shore.
