Free fishing weekend + trout derby = a perfect time outdoors!
The WDFW Trout Derby is a fantastic way to introduce beginners to the joys of fishing. Bring a friend or family member to create lasting memories and foster a love for the outdoors. You might even win a prize. Find all the details on our derby homepage (https://wdfwderby.com/)
Derby lakes are part of Washington’s Free Fishing Weekend June 6-7 (this weekend!). Other opportunities include largemouth and smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and other game fish in lakes, along with rockfish, surfperch, American shad, lingcod, cabezon, flounder, sole and other bottomfish species in Puget Sound marine areas. Licenses are still required to fish for or harvest salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, halibut, and all shellfish. All other fishing rules and regulations still apply. (https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/free)

The WDFW announced that this year's free fishing weekend will return across Washington state June 6–7, allowing people to fish for many species without purchasing a license. Some species remain explicitly banned, however. MORE BELOW ⬇️
