Hello all,

i am am new to KY and to fishing. I am leaving tomorrow for a family reunion at a lake in KY. I would like to do some fishing there. I had a question about fishing licenses. Do I absolutely need one before I go? What are the chances of me fishing and getting hassled at a private resort? I intend on getting one as I continue the sport, as I want to obey the sport and state laws, but was just curious about the amount of people that actually get one. Also, I'm headed to Dicks today to get some starter equipment, so any suggestions on what to get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
