Neither residents nor vis- itors need licenses or tags June 2 and 3 for fishing, crabbing or clamming in the state, including on the Co- lumbia River. While no li- censes are required, all other fishing regulations apply, in- cluding closures, bag limits and size restrictions. “Free fishing weekends are a great opportunity for friends and families to get out and enjoy a day or two of fish- ing,” said Mike Gauvin, rec- reational fisheries manager for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Trout, warm-water fish, ocean fish- ing, crabbing and clamming are just some of the great op- portunities available.” Volunteer angler education instructors will loan fishing gear and give tips on how to catch and clean fish from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Coffenbury Lake in Fort Ste- vens State Park. There will be a kids’ fish- ing derby with prizes and a biggest-fish competition, fly-casting demonstrations by the Rainland Flycasters and a barbecue lunch. There are similar events statewide, with the closest being at Gnat Creek Fish Hatchery in Clatskanie, at Henry Hagg Lake in Gaston, Nedona Pond in Rockaway and Trask River Hatchery in Tillamook. ODFW offers eight free fish- ing days a year; others will be Sept. 1-2 and Nov. 23-24. Oregon State Parks also are free to visit June 2 and 3, with day-use parking fees waived both days and free camping on Saturday (an $8 reserva- tion is required to guarantee a camping spot).

Fort Stevens is one of them. “State Parks Day is our way of thanking Oregonians for their commitment to our state parks,” said Lisa Sump- tion, Oregon Parks and Rec- reation Department director. “We invite people to discover a new park or revisit an old favorite.” It may be difficult getting a camp site at Fort Stevens; On May 25, only 49 of the 513 camp sites were available. To check and guarantee a campsite for State Parks Day, reserve online at oregon- stateparks.org or call 800- 452-5687 during business hours on weekdays. Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance of your stay. Approximate- ly half of state park camp- grounds accept reservations.
