Thanks. I guess I won't be taking my kids fishing then. I can't afford a ticket either. This state really does suck!

i'll most likely have to get a license...  :bash:  or just take him to the kids only fishing pond,... I guess a fishing license is not affective there either way..  :dunno: :dunno:

As a parent if my kids wanted to fish the last Id be worried about is the cost of my freshwater license.

Every kid deserves to fish!

I may have to plan on taking them on the free fishing weekend in June.
(Or is it only a day?)

When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

I didn't even look at the year. Figured it would be up to date. As I said, this state does suck!   :chuckle:

yeah they do watch the ponds... so where is the line drawn for parents using kids as an excuse or a parents helping a kid cast/tie tackle?   I've seen parents come there with 10+ kids several times a day and take 100+ fish home.... :bash:

I think I will still take my kids fishing. I will just take the boat and troll, so they don't need to cast. Probably will have to take just one kid at a time. It would be too difficult with two if I'm not allowed to help.

June 8-9, 2013, is “Free Fishing Weekend” in
Washington. On those two days, fishing licenses are not
required. Catch Record Cards are required to fish for
salmon, sturgeon, steelhead, Puget Sound Dungeness
crab, and halibut (if open). Free fishing days are valid for
everyone. All other rules still apply, including seasons,
area and lure or bait restrictions, and size and catch
limits. A Vehicle Access Pass, Discover Pass, Columbia
River Salmon/Steelhead Endorsement, and Two-Pole
Endorsement is not required during this weekend.
Each year, the Free Fishing Weekend will be the first
weekend in June, after the first Monday in June.

From Page 7 of the fishing pamphlet.

You are allowed to help.

Okay. Well I guess I will look up the actual laws tonight, and read it myself.

Must be different ways of interpreting it.
