The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will waive the need for a license on the Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving for its “Free Fishing Days” event.
On Nov. 29-30, licenses, tags or endorsements are not needed to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon that’s open to the public. Area closures, bag limits and all other regulations still apply.
For tips and fishing spots to consider in the Willamette Zone, see ODFW’s website.
ODFW reported this week that crab harvesting has been good out of Newport and excellent out of Waldport.
