Our WDFW is ridiculous. I made the same call 2 weeks ago to Olympia and was told I absolutely did NOT need the Columbia River Endorsement. That was the second question I asked. The first question, was if the 2 pole endorsement could be used on the Snake. The answer was NO there as well. Would be really nice if this joke of an organization could get some solid answers together to prevent this confusion.

We have always had customers get the endorsement on the snake since I was under the assumption it was needed to fish sturgeon on the Snake. I called Olympia as well lol....launching out of lyons ferry...

Sorry for the derail, but I'd like to see any warden write somebody a ticket for fishing Osoyoos without a Columbia River endorsement. What an effin' money making joke.
