So in order for him to fish in the Sandy River when it is CLOSED to trout fishing he WILL need a tag!
sooo no need for tags and where cani look at regulations the odwf web site is so cluttered
Good lookin out moe. It seems that the blitzkrieg of regulations unearhted prior lacked that small piece of HELPFULL information. Its nice to see someone on the site who is out for the little guy. (thats all I've got to say about that) -TMA jeuvinille combined angling tag for salmon, Steelhead, Sturgeon, and Pacific Halibut is only 8.50, just got mine.
sooo no need for tags and where can i look at regulations the odwf web site is so cluttered
You guys should work for ODFW, maybe go hate on some snaggers or something.

Right on Moe. Good job of cutting to the chase. Thats what zarboth really needed to know.
Zarboth, with your love of fishing, I hope you have access to $8.50. Go get your tag, then you can stop worrying, wondering or whatever and just go get some feeesh! Good luck out there.
ok i dont have tags but you dont need tags for crappie well im fishing for crappie i acedintally catch a trout i just throw it back without getting in torubole right?
thank you im really exited but all i have is trout rods ): do you think i could get stel head with that are there any other fish there like crappie or trout?
im not evan at the age where i need a juvenill licence when im 14 i need that so one year away
thanks say i caught but i dident keep would i need tags for that?
i just looked at the regulations which u should too zarboth
looks like if your 13 and younger you can fish for free in this statebut i think u may still have to sign up or something, may want to look into it
If u accidentally catch a trout id keep it and eat it, depenping where u are
sooo no need for tags and where cani look at regulations the odwf web site is so cluttered
ok egg has some proof i guess i can look up prices for tags ):
the tag is cheap ($10 or $12)... and should last you throughout the year
if you fish on the Washington side you need an endorsement for the Columbia and ALL of its tributaries (8.95 for non residents I think)
good luck out there man, let us know if you catch anything.
Ya Zarboth good luck out there!
I just love it when grown ups try to encourage kids to break the law, way to be a good example troutmasta!
