You will need to obtain a fishing license for each person that will be fishing (if you will touch a fishing rod at all, you will be considered to be fishing). Licenses can be purchased at Sebo's, Jim's Hardware or Ace, or online at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/wdfw/oc_system/index.html Request a saltwater license and a salmon catch record card (plus whatever else you want). You may choose an annual license (around $22 plus fees) or a single day combination license (around $9 plus fees), which covers both saltwater and freshwater. If you purchase your license online, which is cheaper, you must do so at least 11 days in advance of the class. You will need to acquire the license prior to the class and have the license, your ID, and the catch record card with you at the class.
