Oregon Free Fishing Weekend - February 16th & 17th


Oregon Free Fishing Weekends

While assembly this info from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife I came across and pretty cool page of info. It's called 50 Places to go Fishing within 60 Minutes of Portland. Tons of great info here to help one get out and have some weekend fun.

Introduce a friend, child, co-worker or family member to fishing during Oregon's free fishing days. ODFW offers Oregon residents and visitors the opportunity to explore and experience fishing, crabbing, clamming without the need for a license.
On Free Fishing Weekends, you don’t need a license to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon. That’s no license, no tag, no endorsement needed.

Enjoy the fun of fishing for free anywhere in the State of Oregon! Fishing regulation and bag limits still apply.

  • June 1-2
  • August 17-18
  • Nov 29-30

Washington Free Fishing Weekend

2019 WA State Free Fishing Weekend is June 8th and 9th, when fishing licenses are not required of anyone to fish in Washington.
Free Fishing Weekend in Washington is always the first weekend after the first Monday in June.

Also NOT required on Free Fishing Weekend:

  • Vehicle Access Pass (which comes with a fishing license) 
  • A Discover Pass will not be required on WDFW or Washington State Park lands throughout the weekend, but will be required on DNR lands both days. 
  • Columbia River Salmon/Steelhead Endorsement 
  • Two-Pole Endorsement 
Remember - all other rules still apply. While no licenses are required on Free Fishing Weekend, it's still important to check the regulations for other rules such as size limits, bag limits, catch record card requirements and area closures that will still be in effect.

Please see the Fishing Regulation Pamphlet for all rules and restrictions.
