Free Fishing Days Nov. 29 – 30
Take a friend fishing
The Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving are Free Fishing days in Oregon. You don't need a license to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon – making it the perfect time to introduce a friend or family member to fishing.
Submit your hunting, fishing and wildlife photos
Great photos can inspire and motivate others. And give you bragging rights! Submit your photos to ODFW and you may see them on ODFW's website or social media channels.
