Answers
Shore and pier fishing in Washington, the common questions
How many shore fishing sites does WDFW map?
1,082, split as 729 shore fishing site, 169 access point (no launch), 115 fishing pier, 63 water access area and 6 fishing platform.
How many are docks or piers?
298 carry the pier flag in the WDFW layers.
How many reach salt water?
61 sit on marine water; the marine area pages list them.
Does fishing off a Washington dock or pier take a license?
Anglers 16 and older need a Washington Freshwater license ($39.95 resident, $115.85 nonresident for 2026-27) or a Combination license; salmon, steelhead and sturgeon also take a catch record card. Public piers on salt water take a Saltwater or Combination license instead.
Which Washington county carries the most shore fishing pages?
Kitsap County, with 16.
Is parking free at these sites?
WDFW sites take the Vehicle Access Pass that comes with most licenses; State Parks sites take a Discover Pass.
Can I fish a Washington pier after dark?
The layers print no hours, so check posted signs; marine hours rules apply in salt water.
Why does a site lack its own page?
Only named sites with three or more recorded facts get a page; the rest appear on their water and county pages.
