I want to remind everyone that fishing licenses must be renewed each year on the first of April. I wouldn’t be the first one to let this get me. I have had to jump online to get one to keep legal. If you haven’t done this, it really isn’t too difficult. However, you can’t get your salmon or steelhead punch cards online, you have to get these at a store that sells licenses. Also, I have had friends who have shown up to go fishing with me that had their fishing license but didn’t know they needed a salmon card. The person at the counter just didn’t ask and they didn’t know. Be sure to ask. They don’t cost anything either. The other fishing license item is that you don’t want to throw last year’s punch card away. You need to send it to Olympia. The instructions are on the punch cards, and they are due by the end of the month. I stopped by the ramp at the east end of Evergreen Reservoir on my way home from Billy Clapp. The water is up about as high as it gets, and the ramp can be used.
