Free Fishing Weekend June 3-4
Take someone fishing during Free Fishing Weekend June 3 and 4. On those two days, no license, tag or endorsement is required to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon. New to fishing and wondering how to get started? Check out the schedule of free family fishing events being held throughout the state on those two days.

The fine print: Applies only to waters already open to fishing, crabbing or clamming. All other regulations, such as bag limits, still apply.

Weekend fishing opportunities
Some good bets for the upcoming Free Fishing Weekend:

  • Spring Chinook fishing is picking up on north coast rivers.
  • Lots (lots!) of popular waterbodies are being stocked with trout, including many trophy-size fish.
  • Low tides will make this a good weekend for surf perch fishing inside bays and jetties.

Check out this week’s Rec Report for the best opportunities near you. 

Things are heating up for warmwater fishing
Fishing for bass, crappie and other warmwater fish, continues to improve in areas throughout the state.
