 What do I need to go fishing from my kayak in Portland, OR?
I have a kayak and head out on the Columbia, Willamette and Sauvie Island (river and lakes) a lot. A friend gave me a collapsible "fish pen" rod. Can I just bait it with bits of raw chicken and let 'er rip? Do I need a license? Are there places where I don't need one? If I actually catch something can I just beat it to death on the side of the boat, take it home and cook it, or is there a more refined method? Sorry to be so blunt but, as you can see, I am new at this. Tried to read the regs but they are sooooo complicated. I''m not after a marlin with my fish pen. Is there an easy answer for what I can catch and keep? |
