Columbia River South Jetty Question

[Parasite]

Do I need an Oregon fishing license to fish the south jetty? I thought I heard from a few people in the past that a Washington license was valid here due to reciprocity rules. However, searching through the regulations for Washington, I can't find mention of this? Any help?

Oregon shore I believe is Oregon license. Regs should have the language

You really need to look at the regs and maybe the charts to verify where the lines are drawn for jurisdiction. I would be careful about making ANY decision based upon what a forum says!
I just went through this in a different location, and learned some things I had not known. Plus, once I got it figured out and settled, I am confidant I will not loose my license because of a 'silly' violation.

When angling within three miles of shore from Cape Falcon, OR to Leadbetter Point, WA, or in the waters of the Columbia River where it forms the Oregon-Washington boundary both Washington and Oregon resident fishing licenses are valid. Any anglers other than Washington residents must have a valid Oregon angling or shellfish license when landing fish or taking shellfish by boat in Oregon.

That makes it sound like "on the water" "in the waters" not from shore.

Where'd you find that? I see similar text in the online pamphlet, but not verbatim. And I agree with 7mmfan ... the wording makes it sound like it applies to being in a vessel only.
