Free Fishing Weekend Aug. 17-18
This weekend is the perfect time to take a friend or family member fishing. It’s Free Fishing Weekend, which means they won’t need a license, tag or endorsement to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon (that’s open to fishing, crabbing or clamming).
Best bets for Free Fishing Weekend
If you’re taking someone fishing during Free Fishing Weekend, you’ve got lots of options to choose from. Trout, tuna, bass and salmon – take your pick.

Youth pheasant hunts begin in September
Kids 17 and younger can experience a low-pressure, pre-season hunt with a good chance of harvesting a pheasant or two. Hunts are on various dates throughout the state. All kids must have completed hunter education, and be accompanied by an adult.
