Fishing license for 2026.

[offensivename]

A common problem some folks, including me, were having with recording their catch is that they fail to "purchase" a CRC for $0.00. Once that is done then it becomes a simple task.

I'm gonna waste my time whining about why this isn't automatically part of a fishing license. It's FREE! It's digital. No wasted paper or additional ink expense because it's FREE! Just click the BUTTON and get it FREE! And if you are retired you get it at an even more REDUCED FREE RATE!! Free chit from WDFW! You read that right - FREE CHIT!! Limit one per customer.

Yeah, I had this issue with a crab catch card (which was harder because I bought the full Fish Washington package which requires a specific $0 crab CRC that was buried in the list.

I'll point out that this isn't new to the digital license. I had the same problem last year with the paper license, I showed up at Neah for a trip and realized I'd gotten the steelhead CRC but hadn't checked the box for the salmon CRC when I ordered my license which meant using the guide one day CRC's for a couple days on the ocean which was . . . interesting. At least now if I forget I can just add the CRC and it shows up immediately.

The salmon, steelhead, sturgeon CRC is one item. Its weird they make you choose what is included on it when you purchase. They WDFW should default to including all three when you buy it.

Bought my license last night, what a pia! So not user friendly, says I bought a license, but can't cant record a catch.

Dude! You gots to "purchase" the CRC for $0.00

You know, like put it in your cart and checkout and then pay/not pay.

And why do I need a verification code every single time I log in, then need another security code, thats 3 different gates to go through, who ever made this app needs to hang by thier neck, so fucking dumb, and I'm not talking about myself!
