Each year, thousands of Washingtonians go fishing — legally — without a license on “Free Fishing Weekend,” scheduled for June 11-12.

During those two days, no license will be required to fish or gather shellfish in any waters open to fishing in Washington.

Also, no vehicle access pass or Discover Pass will be required during Free Fishing Weekend to park at any of the nearly 700 water-access sites maintained by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

While no licenses are required on Free Fishing Weekend, other rules such as size limits, bag limits and closures still will be in effect.

Anglers also will be required to complete a catch record card for any salmon, steelhead, sturgeon or halibut they catch.
