Northwest Fishing Reports

I am going to the Columbia for Spring Chinook, tomorrow. I just purchased my new arsenal of WA. State licenses. My question is...What does the "Columbia enhancement ". Look like on your license print out?
I did ask for it, but i don't see anything that obviously looks like it. I've got one line that reads, " CRC1"
That sounds like Catch Record Card1...? Or is that Col. River?
I always hate to buy my license stuff at Fred Meyer.....but dang it, i did it again!

I don't have my lic handy but I recall I had to go to the very bottom of the catch record card to find, in my case, it stated " VALID ONLY IN THE OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK". You might check the very bottom of your CRC, see what it states. Also, on the license itself, the column on the right had cost listed for each endorsement, find the dollar amount that matches the cost of the Col river endorsement, slide to the left and see what that states...... Freddies here also... LOL just the closest for me...

found last years lic.... again, at the fee section of the lic, my col endorsement has to be the one that states "SALMON STEELHEAD ENDOSEMENT 8.25.

Your CRC 1 is to report salmon/steelhead (sturgeon, halibut)anywhere BUT Olympic National Park.

Alright.....disregard everyone. Yes Mark, it appears the place where it states, " Salmon/Steelhead endorsement
Is actually referring to the Columbia endorsement. I just wish it stated Columbia and tributaries.
While I'm grumbling, the Fred Meyer chick asked me if I was fishing in "Puget Sound or The Straits". ...for some other endorsement. I thought that whole enhanced Pugetropolis thing was for Marine areas N. Of Hood Canal and the the Straits?
She was saying it was "Anywhere in Puget Sound"...... huh? I am not aware of any salt water that
s not either the Sound or the Straits? Where else would i be fishing salt water? I mean obviously the open ocean is a seperate body....u just gotta watch the retailers that dont completely train their people selling this stuff.

Hmmm PS endosement? crab? I guess I should be looking at what is required this year! LOL I got what I figured was the works last year and didn't use half of it due to out of state work. PS Crab summer and winter and the appropriate CRC are the only endorsements for PS that I'm aware of.

more correctly,,,, PS Crab is the endorsement,,,,, the CRC is broken into summer and winter.

Nice the state makes it so user friendly huh.

When they ask you what you want, I am always like, "yes, yes, yes..." The lady at Cabela's was like "Planning to do a lot of fishing this year?" Hahahaha....

I always just buy the full monty. And yes it's a yes fest as they have to ask for everything..........
