Oregonians can fish, crab and clam without a license June 6-7 during the state's annual Free Fishing Weekend. For anglers in The Dalles and Hood River, the event offers a chance to hit local waters at no cost while introducing a new generation to fishing in the Columbia Gorge.

Everyone can fish, clam, and crab for free in Oregon on Saturday and Sunday, June 7-8, 2025. No fishing/shellfish licenses or tags (including a Combined Angling Tag or Columbia River Basin Endorsement or Two-Rod Validation) are required on these days.
