- LICENSE TIME: With fisheries under way in much of the state and opening day of lowland lake fishing just weeks away, anglers are reminded to buy new licenses.

April 1 is the first day of the new license year and anglers will need a new license.

The April 1-to-March 31 licensing cycle was instituted in 1999, to bring re-licensing into line with spring fishing.

License fees remain the same as last year. Licenses can be purchased at state Department of Fish and Wildlife offices and dealers across the state or by credit card at http://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/ on the Internet.
