OREGON (KTVZ) — Are you looking for something to do following Thanksgiving? The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has announced free fishing days on November 28th and 29th statewide!
All residents and non-residents are encouraged to participate. Enjoy free fishing, crabbing and clamming! ODFW says free fishing days are a great chance to take someone new fishing and celebrate Oregon’s natural resources.
No fishing or shellfish licenses or tags are required those two days. All other fishing regulations apply including closures, bag limits and size restrictions.
ODFW will stock trout in several popular lakes in the Willamette Valley in anticipation of the event, which draws both experienced anglers and those new to the sport.
If you participate and catch a fish (or a few!) make sure to snap a photo and submit it to us for your chance to be featured on our weekly ‘Big Ol’ Fish’ segment. Make sure to include the type and size of your fish, where you reeled it in, and who is in your photo! Click here to submit.
