About this app

The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife is excited to announce a new Sport Fishing Regulations Mobile Application for Washington State!

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, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife developed the Fish Washington mobile app.
Browse for places to fish.

Tap on a body of water to see what you can fish for and retain, gear restrictions (if any), etc.

Search for your favorite fishing spot and see the regulations; for today and for that upcoming trip.

Filter for target species.

Share your experience or favorite fishing spot with friends and family.

Get real-time notifications about changes to regulations, emergency rules, etc.

Ratings and reviews

I only give one star because no stars are not an opption. Ok, so, this app is a good idea. However, the execution is terrible. It updates FOREVER every time I open it. Then, I tried to get regulations for the Columbia River and the app crashes. Of course, I should have known that the same people who bring you the efficiency of the DMV can't get an app right. Can you please try to fix it.

using a pixel 2xl, latest version of Android. keeps crashing upon opening the app. initally the app is able to open upon installation. it downloaded a ton of files on my phone. but on subsequent tries (even when I was sure everything finished downloading), I see a "your device is currently downloading the initial data" blurb and gray screen, and then the app crashes.

With as much as we have to spend on licenses you would think they could pay the money to have a decent app programmer to upkeep this app to where we don't have to uninstall and reinstall several times to get it to work, especially during salmon season. The most useful time to have an app that can keep up on the constant rule changes. Truly disappointed.
