Good luck trying to get a charter license from the State they haven't sold one in over 20 years as far as I know. There are approx 130 charter licenses in the state now, and are only available from someone that currently has one, if you can find a license expect to spend between $1500 -$2500 per rod, 6 rod licenses have been going for about $12k - $15k if you can find someone that wants to sell. Oh yea I recently heard that WDFW wants to trim the active licenses down to 80 from 130.
Another problem with the charter license situation is the Longview Bridge on the Columbia is the cutoff point for guides without charter licenses. I have a 200 mile offshore USCG master license and can't fish below Longview because you need a charter license, thank the charter boat association for that, it’s the only river in the state that I know of where you can't fish with a WDFW guide license and a Coast Guard License right to the salt.
