About this app
The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife is excited to announce a new Sport Fishing Regulations Mobile Application for Washington State!
Washington State offers anglers some of the most diverse fishing opportunities available anywhere in the world. In a single weekend, you can dig for clams, troll for salmon, drop a pot for Dungeness crab, fly fish for steelhead, trout or bass, jig for halibut or rockfish, and bait fish for catfish, tuna, lingcod or sturgeon. Maintaining this variety of fishing opportunities necessitates correspondingly diverse―and sometimes complex―fishing regulations.
To make these regulations easier to understand, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife developed the Fish Washington mobile app.
Browse for places to fish.
Tap on a body of water to see what you can fish for and retain, gear restrictions (if any), etc.
Search for your favorite fishing spot and see the regulations; for today and for that upcoming trip.
Filter for target species.
Share your experience or favorite fishing spot with friends and family.
Get real-time notifications about changes to regulations, emergency rules, etc.

With as much as we have to spend on licenses you would think they could pay the money to have a decent app programmer to upkeep this app to where we don't have to uninstall and reinstall several times to get it to work, especially during salmon season. The most useful time to have an app that can keep up on the constant rule changes. Truly disappointed.

WDFW has once again failed. I spend time hunting and fishing in South Dakota where they have an app that is similar. The only difference is it actually works. it takes way too long for the maps to load on the wdfw version. Once they load it's not intuitive and difficult to find the information you need unless all you need is boat launch information. So basically "useless" is the word I would like you to absorb from my review.

Saw an ad for this app at the DOL, thought "hey cool let's see my tax dollars at work!".. I've reinstalled this 208MB app twice, along with the 20 separate downloads it has you do EACH TIME you open the app.. never got it to work, even once. Great internet connection, I know that's not the problem. The app finally loaded a map at one point, but that's all it was, zero information, and it didn't work again after that.

Hi Kyle. You are correct. There were significant issues with the app that were causing it to take forever to launch and download unneeded files repeatedly. I am happy to report that we have fixed a ton of issues. Please update the app and provide us feedback about how it is working for you now. - Jake Shapley, Application Developer, WDFW
