With a “NEW” Tribal harvest license, you can now fish for all
species that do not require a special ODFW fishing tag. You are
still restricted to all ODFW rules, including daily bag limits,
gear restrictions, zone restrictions and seasons. No commercial
fishing allowed. Expanded shellfishing coming in 2024, stay
tuned for more information!

For species that do require a special fishing tag (salmon, steelhead,
sturgeon and halibut), you can come to the Natural Resources
Department to acquire a “combined angling tag or hatchery harvest
card” (See fig. 3). Tags MUST be reported to NRD within 30 days
after tag expiration.
