For the new angler, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will be sponsoring Free Fishing Weekend events up and down the coast, June 3-4. Even if you have never cast a line or baited a hook, there will be volunteers on hand to show you how to fish and land your catch. At most locations there will be fishing gear available for first-time anglers to use.
This is a great opportunity for friends and families to get outdoors and enjoy fishing. ODFW is reporting that lakes and ponds are fully stocked, rivers and streams are open for tout and crabbing and clamming on the coast. Although no licenses or tags are required, all other regulations apply including closures, bag limits and size restrictions
Free Fishing Weekend also aligns with State Parks Day on Saturday, June 3, so if you're going camping in an Oregon State Park this weekend, be sure to pack your fishing gear. Several state parks will be hosting ODFW Free Fishing Weekend events and State Parks is waiving park admission and camping fees in many parks on State Parks Day.
