SALEM, Ore. – Oregon’s next Free Fishing Weekend is fast approaching. So now is the time to plan ahead if you want to fish, crab, and clam for no cost.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said Free Fishing Weekend is taking place Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16. While you won’t need a license to fish on those days, area closures, bag limits and all other regulations still apply.
Clamming on the Oregon Coast is still closed to people who come from out-of-state. Crabbing is open to nonresidents from Cape Falcon to the Oregon-California border.
Free Fishing Weekend usually comes with various events, but those have been canceled due to COVID-19.
