I thought you needed tags to assist a juvenile. At least that's my understanding of the regs.

Your daughter would need a catch card if you plan to fish for salmon and steelhead. Not sure if you need anything for yourself if all you plan to do is help.

Despite all my talk, I bought my license 3 days into the season. Seems things haven't gotten quite bad enough to convince me to throw in the towel altogether.

I still haven't licensed my boat trailer... that'll teach 'em.

I've used mine about eight times so far since I bought it.
Fishing has been great and not a lot of folks out wetting a line.

Same here. If I were to go buy Springer Fillets at the market,equal in weight to what I've already killed this Spring, I'd be spending about 2 decades worth of fishing license money. Seems like a good deal to me.

A South Sound denizen? You might want to look at the MA 11 and 13 opportunities this year especially given the lack thereof up north.

Remember to have your descender device on board and ready to use when fishing for bottom fish beginning 1 July to include sand dabs.
Seriously!

I saw a list recently put out by WDFW about all the fisheries coming up in hopes of inspiring license sales. Salmon, halibut, rockfish, bass, walleye, OD trout, and so on. Lots of really nice opportunity IF you have access to a boat and an unlimited supply of scopolamine. They are doing a good job of developing some boat-based fisheries. Kokanee comes to mind, and the Lake WA walleye will be killer. To my pea brain, though, there is nothing there I want in on. So, license fees go elsewhere.

Yes, I believe you need a fishing license to assist the little ones - if you are in control of the rod at any point while actively fishing.

I have no idea about clams.

I think the clam rule is that the kid has to actively digging and not just along to watch.

I'll second that. Just substitute halibut for springers.

I just had a great day on a beach digging steamers & butter clams. The kiddo found 23 clams in the muck piles I missed while digging (granted she showed me every clam shell I dug up lol. She was so proud of her bucket of clams it was priceless. Even got the wife butthole deep into a couple holes digging. Days like this takes most of the sting out of donating to the dept.

We also waded around and I showed her all the crabs, starfish, and everything else that moved. It's funny watching her relate everything she saw to spongebob characters.

Spending time outdoors with loved ones and teaching children about the natural world is priceless. You certainly got your money's worth on that outing. Great job and I hope you have many more adventures with the little one.

Is that a joke? What walleye fishery? I thought WDFW/the tribes were trying to eradicate any walleye to protect the "all mighty" sockeye that none of us will ever get to fish for again in Lake Wa?

No. The walleye will succeed because the lake is now more suited to them than to anadromous fish. One kicker about developing a commercial walleye fishery in Lk WA is that the forage fish accumulated a lot of mercury. Walleye eat forage fish. So, the walleye to eat safely will probably be the smaller ones. The ones Doc refers to as "egg wagons" will be unsafe to eat but will lay a lot of eggs.

I definitely bought a license, and the value of the fish I have harvested far exceed the cost of the licenses, and it's only been a handful of weeks. Even with costs going up and opportunity going down the recreational and food value I get out of my license overwhelmingly outweighs the costs.

One trip to the movie theater with popcorn and drinks costs more than my fishing license.

Fish on...

Of course I do X 4.
I also spend about $700 on the hunting side as well.

This enables me to not be a hypocrite.

There's no denying that a single saltwater outing can "pay" for itself or that the pleasure a sportsman gets from pursuing his passion is reason enough to buy a license. Like Lotto tickets, it's worth the price just to dream. If I didn't have other plans that will keep me busy for the foreseeable future I'd be complicit as well.grin Good luck to everyone and make sure to wear a PFD...especially kids. We're lucky to live in a place that's so beautiful the scenery alone is worth the price of admission and sharing that with friends and family is priceless.
