Oregon Fishing License App

You can choose to carry your fishing license virtually on your phone, rather than possessing a physical paper copy, through the MyODFW app. When purchasing your fishing license online, simply click the e-tagging option then download the MyODFW app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Log in to your account using the username and password you created for the ODFW website when you purchased your fishing license. A virtual copy of your fishing license is available to view so you don’t have to worry about an extra piece of paper in your wallet.
