They can fish without a license. 15 and under = free! But you will have to have that. Good luck and have fun.

most states a license isn’t required if under 16 yrs. that is the case in california. when l lived in colorado a license for kids wasn’t needed but they were allowed to keep only a half limit of fish. of course, you could purchase a license for them and then they could keep full limits. you didn’t say where on the colorado you were so your best bet would be to get a regulation booklet from any sporting goods store or walmart or just check your local dfg website.
