Sport Fishing Regulations The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is excited to announce a new sport fishing regulations mobile application for Washington state! Use this mobile app to access current Washington Sport Fishing Rules and emergency fishing rule changes. This free app is designed to convey up-to-the-minute fishing regulations for every lake, river, stream and marine area in the state. New features for 2026 include: Log your catches—even off the grid Track your salmon, steelhead, halibut, sturgeon, and crab catches—online or offline. Check and display your license privileges Secure your licenses and know exactly what you're eligible for—anytime, anywhere. Fish Washington also now includes: Emergency regulation delivery. Map upgrades: New iconography for restrictions and water body features. New base maps to improve the user experience. Interactive mapping to help anglers find fishing opportunities near them. Location-enabled United States Geological Service (USGS) river gauges. Full water body name and description or portion to emergency regulation cards. NOAA tidal predictions for marine water bodies and lower Columbia River. Details on harvest limits and allowable gear for fishable species in each body of water. Access to the WDFW website and instructional videos designed to convey when, where, and how to fish in Washington. Locations of boat launches and other fishing access points. Ability to add waypoints on maps, and report poaching in progress. Downloadable updates and offline capacity designed for those who may not have cell service in remote areas or on the water. Washington state offers anglers some of the most diverse fishing opportunities available anywhere in the world. In a single weekend, you can dig for clams, troll for salmon, drop a pot for Dungeness crab, fly fish for steelhead, trout or bass, jig for halibut or rockfish, and bait fish for catfish, tuna, lingcod, or sturgeon. Maintaining this variety of fishing opportunities necessitates correspondingly diverse ― and sometimes complex ― fishing regulations. To make these regulations easier to understand, WDFW developed the Fish Washington mobile app. Refer to our website for more information.
