Why You Need a Fishing License
A fishing license is required for anyone aged 12 and older who wishes to fish in Oregon's waters. This regulation helps manage fish populations and supports conservation efforts to maintain the health of our aquatic ecosystems. By obtaining a license, you contribute to preserving Oregon's natural resources and ensuring a sustainable fishing environment for future generations.
Types of Fishing Licenses
In Oregon, there are several types of fishing licenses and tags available, depending on the type of fishing you plan to do and the duration of your stay. Here are the main options:
- Annual Fishing License: Ideal for residents and frequent visitors, this license is valid for one year from the date of purchase and allows you to fish year-round in Oregon's waters.
- 1-Day Fishing License: Perfect for visitors who plan to fish for a single day. This license is a great option if you're joining us for a short trip or just trying out fishing.
