Latest news and rule changes from the WDFW :

ОЛИМПИЯ — Выходные бесплатной рыбалки в Вашингтоне — ежегодное мероприятие, когда рыболовы по всему штату могут ловить рыбу без лицензии — в 2023 году будет выглядеть по-новому.

В прошлые годы в Выходные дни бесплатной рыбалки можно было вылавливать без лицензии практически любой вид рыбы, моллюсков или ракообразных, открытых для ловли. Начиная с этого года, вылов любой рыбы, требующей карточки учета улова, (включая осетровых, лосося, стальноголовой форели и палтуса) и всех моллюсков и ракообразных по-прежнему требует лицензии в выходные дни бесплатной рыбалки. Все остальные виды, открытые для ловли, по-прежнему можно ловить без лицензии.

В Выходные дни бесплатной рыбалки по всему Вашингтону можно ловить следующие виды рыб:

Перед выходом на воду рыболовы-любители должны обязательно ознакомиться с текущими правилами рыболовства, действующими до конца июня, а также с любыми действующими правилами на случай чрезвычайных ситуаций. Даже для тех видов, на которые не требуется лицензия в Выходные дни бесплатной рыбалки, в силе остаются остальные правила, такие как сезоны, ограничения по размеру, суточные лимиты и закрытие зон.

Изменение правила Выходных дней бесплатной рыбалки дни было единогласно принято Комиссией по рыбному хозяйству и животному миру штата Вашингтон в июле 2022 года, чтобы решить проблему незаконного или неучтенного улова и способствовать сохранению чувствительных популяций рыбы и моллюсков.

«Выходные дни бесплатной рыбалки не могут быть такими же "бесплатными", как в прошлом, — сказал Кирт Хьюз, менеджер отдела управления рыболовством Департамента рыбы и дикой природы штата Вашингтон (WDFW). — Это мероприятие по-прежнему является прекрасной возможностью выйти на воду и насладиться рыбалкой в первый раз или впервые за долгое время, не покупая лицензию заранее. Самое главное, что мы должны найти баланс между возможностью для рыбалки и сохранением природы, а Выходные дни бесплатной рыбалки создавали проблемы для некоторых видов».

Всплеск активности во время Выходных дней бесплатной рыбалки в прошлые годы привел к чрезмерной нагрузке на определенные пляжи, где обитают моллюски и ракообразные, в результате чего на некоторых пляжах сезон закрылся раньше, чем ожидалось. Также происходил вылов на пляжах, не открытых для ловли моллюсков и ракообразных, беспокойство также вызывал наплыв людей, переполненные парковки и несанкционированное проникновение на территорию.

Кроме того, хотя рыболовы по-прежнему обязаны регистрировать свой улов в соответствующих карточках учета улова в Выходные дни бесплатной рыбалки, некоторые рыболовы добывают такие виды, как лосось или палтус, не занося их в карточки учета улова, что приводит к неточному учету улова и затрудняет правоприменение.

Учитывая, что это первый год действия новых правил, правоприменение будет направлено в первую очередь на информирование общественности об изменениях в лицензиях, однако рыболовы все равно могут понести уголовное наказание за незаконный вылов рыбы.

Вылов видов, требующих карточки учета улова, а также моллюсков и ракообразных по-прежнему разрешен 10—11 июня при наличии действующей лицензии, применимой к данному типу рыболовства.

Рыбаки без лицензии, участвующие в Выходных днях бесплатной рыбалки, по-прежнему могут принять участие в Конкурсе 2023 года по вылову форели, выиграть призы и обменять метки с форели, пойманной в выходные дни. Разыгрывается множество призов за рыбу с метками, зарыбленную в озерах по всему штату.  

Также не требуется в выходные дни бесплатной рыбалки:

  • Пропуск для доступа на транспортном средстве (который выдается вместе с лицензией на рыбалку)
  • Пропуск Discover Pass не потребуется на территориях WDFW, Департамента природных ресурсов (DNR) или парков штата Вашингтон в Выходные дни бесплатной рыбалки, в честь Национального дня выхода на природу 10 июня и Дня бесплатной рыбалки 11 июня.
  • Право на две удочки

В дополнение к постоянным и чрезвычайным правилам, доступным в Интернете, бесплатное приложение Fish Washington, доступное в Google Play, Apple App store и на сайте WDFW, предназначено для передачи самых актуальных правил в отношении рыболовства для каждого озера, реки, ручья и морской акватории штата. 

Департамент рыбного хозяйства и животного мира штата Вашингтон работает над сохранением и защитой рыбы, дикой природы и экосистем, обеспечивая устойчивое состояние рыбы и дикой природы, а также обеспечивая возможности для отдыха и коммерческой деятельности.

OLYMPIA – Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần của Washington – sự kiện hàng năm khi những người câu cá trên khắp tiểu bang có thể câu cá mà không cần giấy phép – sẽ có một hình ảnh mới mẻ vào năm 2023.

Trong các năm trước đây, gần như bất kỳ loài cá hay động vật có vỏ nào được đánh bắt để thu hoạch đều có thể thu hoạch mà không cần giấy phép trong suốt sự kiện Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần. Bắt đầu năm nay, bất kỳ loài cá nào cũng cần phải có một thẻ ghi đánh bắt (bao gồm cá tầm, cá hồi, cá hồi vân và cá bơn lưỡi ngựa) và tất cả các loài động vật có vỏ sẽ vẫn yêu cầu giấy phép trong sự kiện Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần. Tất cả các loài khác được đánh bắt để thu hoạch có thể vẫn thu hoạch mà không cần giấy phép.

Một số cơ hội câu cá hiện có trên khắp Washington trong sự kiện Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần bao gồm:

Những người câu cá hãy nhớ kiểm tra các quy định câu cá hiện hành có hiệu lực đến cuối Tháng Sáu trước khi chạm nước để câu cá, cũng như mọi luật lệ khẩn cấp hiện hành. Ngay cả đối với các loài không cần phải có giấy phép trong sự kiện Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần, các luật lệ khác như mùa, hạn chế kích cỡ và giới hạn ngày và việc đóng cửa khu vực vẫn còn hiệu lực.

Sự thay đổi về luật lệ Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần đã được Ủy Ban Cá và Động Vật Hoang Dã Washington (Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission) nhất trí thông qua vào Tháng Bảy 2022 để giải quyết các quan ngại về việc thu hoạch bất hợp pháp hoặc không kiểm đếm, đồng thời tăng cường bảo tồn các quần thể cá và động vật có vỏ nhạy cảm.

“Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần không thể được ‘miễn phí’ như trước đây,” theo lời phát biểu của ông Kirt Hughes, giám đốc Phòng Quản Lý Cá với Sở Cá và Động Vật Hoang Dã Washington (WDFW). “Sự kiện này vẫn là một cơ hội thú vị để được ở trên mặt nước và tận hưởng lần câu cá đầu tiên hoặc lần đầu tiên sau một thời gian dài, mà không cần phải mua giấy phép trước. Quan trọng nhất là chúng ta phải cân bằng giữa cơ hội với bảo tồn, và Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần đang đưa ra những khó khăn đối với các loài nhất định.”

Lượng người tham gia tăng đột biến trong suốt sự kiện Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần ở những năm trước đây đã gây áp lực quá mức trên các bãi biển nhất định có loài động vật có vỏ, dẫn đến một số bãi biển đóng cửa theo mùa sớm hơn dự kiến. Việc thu hoạch trên các bãi biển không mở cửa để đánh bắt động vật có vỏ cũng đã xảy ra, cùng với những quan ngại về tình trạng đông đúc, bãi đậu xe và hành động xâm phạm.

Ngoài ra, trong khi những người câu cá vẫn được yêu cầu ghi lại số lượng đánh bắt của họ trên các thẻ ghi đánh bắt có liên quan về sự kiện Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần, một số người sẽ thu hoạch các loài như cá hồi hoặc cá bơn lưỡi ngựa mà không có thẻ ghi đánh bắt, dẫn đến báo cáo đánh bắt không đúng và gây khó khăn cho việc thực thi.

Do đây là năm đầu tiên áp dụng các quy định mới, việc thực thi sẽ tập trung chủ yếu vào giáo dục công chúng về các thay đổi trong giấy phép, nhưng những người câu cá vẫn có thể phải đối mặt với các hình phạt hình sự về thu hoạch bất hợp pháp.

Việc thu hoạch các loài cần phải có thẻ ghi đánh bắt và động vật có vỏ vẫn được cho phép vào ngày 10-11 Tháng Sáu với giấy phép hợp lệ áp dụng cho nghề đánh bắt.

Những người câu cá không có giấy phép đang tham gia sự kiện Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần có thể vẫn tham gia và giành giải thưởng 2023 Trout Fishing Derby của sở và đổi thẻ đánh bắt cá hồi vào cuối tuần. Rất nhiều giải thưởng vẫn còn trên những con cá gắn thẻ được thả trong các hồ ở khắp nơi trong tiểu bang.  

Vào sự kiện Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần, cũng không cần phải có:

  • Thẻ Ra Vào Bằng Xe Cộ (kèm với giấy phép câu cá)
  • Thẻ Discover Pass sẽ không cần phải có đối với các vùng đất của Sở Cá và Động Vật Hoang Dã Washington (WDFW), DNR hoặc Công Viên Tiểu Bang Washington trong sự kiện Câu Cá Miễn Phí Cuối Tuần, để ghi nhận Ngày Toàn Quốc Hoạt Động Ngoài Trời vào ngày 10 Tháng Sáu và Ngày Câu Cá Miễn Phí vào ngày 11 Tháng Sáu.
  • Xác Nhận Hai Cột

Ngoài các luật lệ vĩnh viễn và luật lệ khẩn cấp hiện có trực tuyến, ứng dụng Fish Washington miễn phí -- hiện có trên Google Play, App store của Apple và tại trang web của Sở Cá và Động Vật Hoang Dã Washington (WDFW) -- được thiết kế để truyền tải các quy định mới nhất về câu cá đối với mọi hồ, sông, suối và vùng biển trong tiểu bang. 

Sở Cá và Động Vật Hoang Dã Washington hoạt động để bảo tồn, bảo vệ và duy trì cá, động vật hoang dã và hệ sinh thái, đồng thời cung cấp các cơ hội về cá, động vật hoang dã và thương mại và giải trí bền vững.

OLYMPIA – Washington’s Free Fishing Weekend – the annual event when anglers across the state can fish without a license – will have a new look in 2023.

In past years, nearly any species of fish or shellfish open for harvest could be harvested without a license during Free Fishing Weekend. Beginning this year, any fish requiring a catch record card (including sturgeon, salmon, steelhead, and halibut) and all shellfish will still require a license on Free Fishing Weekend. All other species open for harvest can still be harvested without a license.

Some of the fishing opportunities available throughout Washington on Free Fishing Weekend include:

Anglers should be sure to check the current fishing regulations valid through the end of June before hitting the water, as well as any current emergency rules. Even for species that don’t require a license on Free Fishing Weekend, other rules such as seasons, size limits, daily limits, and area closures are still in effect.

The change to the Free Fishing Weekend rule was unanimously adopted by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission in July 2022 to address concerns about illegal or uncounted harvest, and promote conservation of fish and shellfish populations.

“Free Fishing Weekend can’t be as ‘free’ as it has been in the past,” said Kirt Hughes, Fish Management Division manager with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). “This event is still a great opportunity to be out on the water and enjoy fishing for the first time, or for the first time in a long time, without having to buy a license up front. Most importantly, we have to balance opportunity with conservation, and Free Fishing Weekend was presenting challenges for certain species.”

The spike in participation during Free Fishing Weekend in past years put excessive pressure on certain shellfish beaches, leading to some beaches seeing seasons close earlier than expected. Harvest on beaches not open for shellfishing has also occurred, along with concerns about crowding, parking, and trespassing.

Additionally, while anglers were still required to record their catch on relevant catch record cards for Free Fishing Weekend, some would harvest species such as salmon or halibut without a catch record card, leading to inaccurate catch reporting and challenges to enforcement.

Given this is the first year of the new regulations, enforcement will focus primarily on educating the public about the license changes, but anglers may still face criminal penalties for illegal harvest.

Harvest of species requiring a catch record card and shellfish is still allowed on June 10-11 with a valid license applicable to the fishery.

Anglers without a license taking part in Free Fishing Weekend can still participate and win prizes in the department's 2023 Trout Fishing Derby and redeem tags from trout caught over the weekend. Plenty of prizes remain on tagged fish stocked in lakes throughout the state.  

Also not required on Free Fishing Weekend:

  • Vehicle Access Pass (which comes with a fishing license)
  • Discover Pass will not be required on WDFW, DNR, or Washington State Park lands on Free Fishing Weekend, in recognition of National Get Outdoors Day on June 10 and Free Fishing Day on June 11.
  • Two-Pole Endorsement

In addition to the permanent rules and emergency rules available online, the free Fish Washington app -- available on Google Play, Apple's App store and at WDFW's website -- is designed to convey up-to-the-minute fishing regulations for every lake, river, stream and marine area in the state. 

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife works to preserve, protect, and perpetuate fish, wildlife and ecosystems while providing sustainable fish, wildlife, and recreational and commercial opportunities.

3 Day Trip Permits & 1 Day Transit Permits

Which one is right for you? You decide!
3-Day Trip Permit

These can be used to drive your vehicle/motorhome or pull your trailer anywhere within the State of Washington for 3 consecutive days. 3-Day Trip Permits are great if you are:

  • Selling a vehicle that has expired tabs and you want potential buyers to drive it.
  • Taking a vehicle with expired tabs to a mechanic.
  • Taking your RV/Motorhome out for a weekender.
  • Pulling your trailer to the dump for your annual garbage run.

There are many more fun uses for 3-Day Trip Permits, the above are of course just a few. The only thing required to bring in order to purchase a 3-Day Trip Permit is your Name, address and payment.

The cost is $33/per permit.

  • Cash, Personal Check (in name of registered owner) payable to Department of Licensing or DOL, Debit and Credit cards accepted (Debit and Credit fees may apply).

Please note:

  • Each trip permit is valid for 3 consecutive days, beginning with the first day of use
  • You can get a trip permit for:
    Any 1 vehicle up to 3 times in any 30-day period.
    Any 1 recreational vehicle (RV) up to 2 times in a 1-year period. Recreational vehicles include motor homes, travel trailers, camp trailers, and campers.

* You can’t get a trip permit for non-highway and off-road vehicles, including snowmobiles and ORV use class vehicles. The permits are only for vehicles being used on public highways.
