It’s April and if you are an avid angler you need to renew your fishing license for the season. Fishing licenses are valid from April 1st to March 31st of the following year. If you aren’t in a hurry, and don’t plan to fish until the opening of the general lowland lakes season, you can get your license on line. Just log into fishhunt dot dfw dot wa dot gov. Your documents will arrive in about 10 days. I usually go to a local authorized dealer, as I want to get the two pole endorsement and a salmon punch card, which can’t be obtained on line. I don’t get the Discovery Pass, as I buy the Washington State Parks Natural Investment sticker for my windshield. For an annual fee of $80. It is interchangeable between vehicles and covers my parking and launch fees at State Parks. I also buy Colville Tribal licenses and permits. These are only available on line. Log onto cct dot fnw dot com and go to the Licenses and Permits page. You will need to have your drivers license and vehicle license plate numbers to complete the transaction.
