Licenses

Fishing licenses can be purchased online 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, which allows them to fish in both fresh and saltwater. Anglers of any age who fish for salmon, Pacific halibut, sturgeon, steelhead or Dungeness crab must have a catch record card in their possession while fishing.
