Haven't been following the button issuances for a while. Did they ever come out with a Lifetime Fishing License Button for those who are eligible?

I dunno about the button, but I do have the lifetime license....but I gotta buy the annual trout stamp. And if you fish Lake Erie there's another stamp to buy.

no I buy the button every year donation really. When they first came out the button took the place of a license display. Then the display went by the wayside so the button wasn't really needed but I display it anyhoo on my beagle fishing hat.

I bought a 10-year Senior Trout permit in 2016 good for 01/01/2016 - 12/31/2025. Got 3 more years remaining God willing.

my trout permit expires Dec 2023. I've given up trout fishing per se but still fish some stocked waters for blue gills etc. so maintain the trout permit so as not to run afoul of the law. Most notably Lake Hamilton in Tioga Co between Mansfield & Wellsboro.
I pick up the permit in Walmart as I don't have a printer. Also gotta renew my launch permit next December as well...That I do on line.

PA F&B got a deal with me as I'm lucky to trout fish once or twice during Spring Gobbler Season. Still well worth it to me.

I love to fly fish. I tie my own fly's (with magnifying headset of course) I tied flies when I was a teenager and today, with the help of the internet videos, I've gotten pretty good at tying some flys that get me trout.
I have to use what I call my "Fishing device" which I made from repurposed crutches. This allows me to stand at "bar room height" to fish.
Nothing more exciting than catching one on a hook you tied fur 'n feather on to fool 'em.

I go in my kayak with store bought flies. I'm lucky I can get them tied on the tippet Just getting the tippet thru the hook eye is cause for celebration. Not like back flips... I'm still in the kayak .

I'm still in the kayak . Do you flyfish from a kayak on river and streams or just flat water? Nearly all my fishing is done with a flyrod but I do use spinning gear when kayaking the Alleghany and Clarion rivers.

flat water for fishing I could not put an electric motor on mine some you can. Mine is a sit in. I usually paddle the Tioga River but that is just a paddle leave the fishing gear home.

Can't put a motor on any of ours. The smallmouth fishing on the Alleghany is really good and floating in a kayak tossing a rattletrap or similar bait toward the rocks is usually pretty effective. I wade and flyfish the faster water for trout and sometimes bass But I don't think I could manage a fly rod from the kayak-wish I could.
