When do I need a fishing license in Oregon?

Question

Do I need one if I am only going for pike minnow???

Answer 1

Yeah, my Dad and I both have to have one and we live in Oregon.

Answer 2

Anytime before your hook hits the water.

Answer 3

Sorry, but you'll need one no matter what type fish your lookin' at. The Northern Pikeminnow/Squawfish is a predator and since it's introduction into Oregon waters a $pecial Fi$hing Reward program for them (link) is offered to the public on the Colombia River (Washington and Oregon). This particular species is only one of MANY reasons for the decline of the Salmon and Steelhead populations. Good luck and hope this helps ya' out with your question ;)... < ' ( (( > <

I would ask local sporting goods stores, the DNR in your area, or check out www.takemefishing.org to see if you can find the rules and regulations for your state.

Good luck and good fishing!
