Introduce a friend, child, co-worker or family member to fishing during one of Oregon’s free fishing days this Presidents Day weekend.
The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife offers Oregon residents and visitors the opportunity to explore and experience fishing, crabbing, clamming without the need for a license or tags on specific listed dates throughout the year.
It’s free to fish, crab or clam in Oregon on Saturday and Sunday, February 15th and 16th.
During these two days, no fishing licenses or tags are required to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon for both residents and non-residents.
Although no licenses or tags are required, all other fishing regulations apply including closures, bag limits and size restrictions. If you are fishing for salmon, steelhead or marine species like rockfish, remember to check the Fishing section of the Recreation Report for the zone you want to fish to find the latest regulations.
Enjoy the fun of fishing for free anywhere in the State of Oregon! Fishing regulations and bag limits still apply.
