Licenses
Purchase your fishing licenses at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Licensing. Kids 14 and younger do not need a fishing license to fish in the state of Washington. Anglers 15 years of age are required to have a youth fishing license allowing them to fish in fresh and saltwater. Anglers of any age who fish for salmon, Pacific halibut, sturgeon, steelhead or Dungeness crab must also have a catch record card in their possession while fishing.
Fly fishermen flock here - just watch out for the eagles and osprey!
