(image courtesy of ODFW)On June 12-13 the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife invites you to pass along your love of fishing to a friend or family member during Free Fishing Weekend.
June 12-13 is Free Fishing Weekend and on those two days Oregonians won’t need a fishing or shellfish license to fish, crab or clam anywhere in the state. You also don’t need to buy any additional tags.
(But all other current fishing and shellfish regulations will still apply.)
“For the avid angler, Free Fishing Weekend is a great time to take your spouse, your kids or your best buddy on a fishing trip without having to buy licenses” said Rick Hargrave, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife deputy administrator for information/education. “For the beginning angler, it’s a great time to test the waters and give fishing a try.”
To help beginning anglers get started, ODFW and its partners are offering over 35 free fishing events throughout the state. At most events there will be free loaner equipment for novice anglers, special events for children, and lots of volunteers to help.
