Action: On Free Fishing Weekend, anglers may fish in open areas of the Columbia River and its tributaries without purchasing a Columbia River Endorsement. Anglers may also fish with two poles in lakes where this is allowed without purchasing a two pole endorsement.
Effective dates: June 12 and 13, 2010.
Species affected: All species
Location: Statewide
Reasons for action: Free Fishing Weekend is intended to allow anglers who do not have a license to have a chance to fish. Anglers may also park in Department access areas without a Vehicle Use Permit. Requiring anglers to purchase the Columbia River and Two Pole endorsements would not follow the spirit of Free Fishing Weekend.
Other Information: All other rules remain in effect as to open areas and seasons, gear restrictions, daily limits, as listed in the 2010/2011Fishing in Washington Rules Pamphlet.
