Everyone can fish, clam and crab for free in Oregon on Friday and Saturday.

A release from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said no fishing licenses or tags are required for those two days.

The release said those two days have been set aside for several years as part of the #OptOutside movement, encouraging people to get outdoors after Thanksgiving. Oregon State Parks also waives parking fees to provide free day use entry on “Green Friday”, the day after Thanksgiving.

Outdoor areas are not closed during the state’s Two-Week Freeze, recently announced by Governor Kate Brown.

All fishing and hunting seasons also remain open as scheduled. Fish hatcheries are closed to visitors, but all ODFW wildlife areas are open to visitors for hunting, fishing and viewing.

The release said all other fishing regulations still apply including closures, bag limits and size restrictions.
