Show Notes
2025 marked a significant year for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, with a record-breaking sockeye salmon return and new wildlife laws, including a commercial finfish net pen ban and stricter orca whale rules. The department issued over 866,000 fishing licenses and 201,000 hunting licenses. Enforcement was a priority, leading to license revocations and fines for poaching cases, such as spotlighting animals at night and over-the-limit fish hauls. Sixty-one hunters and thirty-two anglers lost their privileges, with violations in other states also triggering losses. Licenses can be purchased online, by phone, or at a dealer, with discounts for seniors and those with disabilities.
