Fishing
Fishing on national forests and grasslands is sometimes more than a sport. For some, the rewards of lakes, rivers and streams feed families at home or at the campsite.
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulates fishing on rivers, streams and lakes on the national forest. Anglers over 16 years of age must obtain a valid Washington fishing license. Contact the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for fishing seasons, limits and licenses.
