You do not need a fishing license to help somone under the age of 17 fish. Those under 17 have the same fishing privileges and must comply to the same fishing regulations as those with valid fishing licenses do. People without a license can: help land fish with net or their hands, help unhook the fish, set up the fishing rod with the appropriate gear, bait the hook, fix tangles or snags, cast the line for the young angler (however, it should be stressed that the young angler must be an active participant while the person assisting is only assisting).
