Do I need a Catch Record Card (CRC) to legally fish for any specific species?
• Yes. A person no matter what age is required to have a CRC on their person and complete the information for each required species as they are caught. • Species requiring entry on a CRC are halibut in areas 5-13 and statewide for steelhead, salmon, sturgeon, and Dungeness crab. • When a license is purchased via the internet it may take up to 10 days to receive your license packet. If you plan on fishing within that time, you may wish to obtain your license through a local WFDW license dealer.
