As a newcomer I have no idea where the Columbian basin is rivers are or where the rogue south is and the website for the license doesn’t show a map super confusing.

Hi Huy, thanks for watching! The Columbia River Basin covers the northwestern part of Oregon, while the Rogue River is located in the southwestern part of the state. In order to fish the basin, you'll need to get a "Columbia River Basin Endorsement" along with your angling license. You can learn more about it here - myodfw.com/articles/who-needs-columbia-river-basin-endorsement (there's also a link on this page that will direct you to where you can buy one). To the best of our knowledge, you generally don't need any additional endorsements in order to fish the Rogue River (beyond the standard Oregon fishing license). However, depending on the species you're targeting, you may need additional permits or tags. To purchase your fishing license and any required permits or tags, you can visit the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's website at odfw.huntfishoregon.com/login, or go in-person to any ODFW office, or a licensed agent (such as a sporting goods store). Let us know if you need any other information and good luck out there! 🎣

its a lie about the disbled permit ,,, even disabled people must have a fishing license and tags

[@FishingBooker]

Hi Maiko, thanks for watching! Oregon residents who are disabled veterans (with a rating of at least 25 percent) are eligible for a FREE combination license that includes hunting, fishing and shellfish licenses and a Columbia River Basin Endorsement. Also, both resident and non-resident hunters and anglers (veteran or not) may apply for a FREE Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit, which includes clam digging. This free permit does not replace a hunting, fishing or shellfish license. Apologies for any confusion! If you'd like more information, you can also visit Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife's main website at myodfw.com/articles/hunters-and-anglers-disabilities. Hope this helps and tight lines!
