Washington state offers anglers some of the most diverse fishing opportunities available anywhere in the world. In a single weekend, you can dig for clams, troll for salmon, drop a pot for Dungeness crab, fly fish for steelhead, trout or bass, jig for halibut or rockfish, and bait fish for catfish, tuna, lingcod, or sturgeon. Maintaining this variety of fishing opportunities necessitates correspondingly diverse ― and sometimes complex ― fishing regulations. To make these regulations easier to understand, WDFW developed the Fish Washington mobile app. Refer to our website for more information.
