In this article, we will review the fishing license options for the state of Oregon, fishing licenses for non-residents, how to access and use the MyODFW app, and Oregon fishing licenses for youths.

Oregon Fishing License Non-Resident

Non-residents are not eligible for annual fishing and hunting combination licenses, or a senior citizen or disabled veteran discounts. Non-residents who are active military service members, however, can purchase a fishing license at a reduced cost of $44.00.
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.
