Fishing Washington (WA)
I am passionate about the outdoor opportunities living in Washington offer. Fishing is one of my favorite activities here. I want to share what I know in the hopes this helps more people enjoy and support the fisheries in WA. To start here is a map I curate the includes multiple layers of POIs including:
- Public areas to fish
- Boat Launches & parking areas
- Public Restrooms
- Stores that stock fishing and/or marine gear
- Fuel stations (including a separate layer for ethanol free fuel)
I am always open to adding POIs you share. You should also use the WDFW site Places to go fishing | Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife .
