Do they need to purchase a fishing license over there or can anyone fish whenever they feel like it?

No licenses needed. In some ways Chiense people have more freedoms than in North America. lol
I had a feeling they could fish for free. Here in Canada the fish will go extinct if we don't pay the fish tax, eh.
I got my fishing license in Ontario good until next year, only used it a few times. I think it was $30 bucks or so I can't remember. Canada does stock its lakes though. There are many private lakes in China where you will have to pay a day fee to fish. This is not a tax or license, it's just a fee paid to the owner. However in the sea or or the public places it's a free for all.
I don't mind paying a bit if it's promoting sustainability, which is one of the main reasons we pay. You're given limits and if you didn't know any better, the first question one asks is "why". Then they learn about poachers and how bad they are, which is true. There were guys up in the northern Saskatchewan running a business selling fish out of trucks and it turns out they were catching way over their limits, using illegal methods as well. Deer would probably be extinct if we didn't have hunting season and limits. Look what they did to the bison.
I absolutely agree. I do appreciate Canada's conservation efforts. Canada is one of the last places on earth with a truly vast wilderness.
