During these two days, no fishing licenses or tags are required to fish, crab or clam anywhere in Oregon for both residents and non-residents.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture regularly tests shellfish and closes areas when naturally occurring biotoxins get to levels that make crabs and clams unsafe to eat.
As of June 2nd, the sport harvest of razor clams is CLOSED from Cape Blanco to the California border for high levels of the marine biotoxin domoic acid.
Sport crab harvesting is OPEN along the entire Oregon coast from the Washington border to the California border.
The sport harvest of mussels and bay clams is OPEN along the entire Oregon Coast from the Washington border to the California border.
Although no licenses or tags are required, all other fishing regulations apply including closures, bag limits and size restrictions. If you are fishing for salmon, steelhead or marine species like rockfish, remember to check the Fishing section of the Recreation Report for the zone you want to fish to find the latest regulations.
Enjoy the fun of fishing for free anywhere in the State of Oregon! Fishing regulations and bag limits still apply.
