Welcome to Oregon and welcome to the forum! First and foremost I would suggest getting your licenses. As recent residents though I'm not quite sure how the process will work for you. Pick up a copy of the fishing regulations and learn the rules for the waters you'll be fishing. The forum has a lot of great info and active members with years of knowledge to share. Use the search function and you'll start on one subject and end on another. I'm constantly researching from the forum, you'll learn a lot here and again welcome!
According to page 3, of our 2015 reg book, you have to a resident for 6 consecutive months--before you can obtain a "Resident" angling license. A resident license, is $42.75 with Columbia River Basin Endorsement. For now, you can obtain a "Non Resident" license.
Good luck and tight lines!
Well, this is where my brilliant assertion falls to the ground.
I wonder if just providing the ODL at the time of license purchase, whether they'd catch it and gig you at the non-resident rate. Defensive dishonesty, sort of.
Still not sure where the OP moved to in OR, so it might take that 6 months to give decent advice.
Well,
You have to explain guys like me who own two homes, one in Oregon and one out of state. I qualify for resident license under the 6 month rule but don't have a ODL or file taxes in Oregon. It states you have to reside in Oregon for six months continuously which I did. I keep a copy of my paid property taxes with my fishing license to prove I'm ligit.
