Fishing Licence for Upriver Dam Reservoir
Anyone 15 or older needs a Washington freshwater fishing licence — the resident annual is about $30, the non-resident annual about $85, with a combination (fresh + salt + shellfish) licence and 1-, 2- and 3-day options.

Public access
Washington’s navigable rivers carry a public right to the bed and banks below the ordinary high-water line; the Cascade and Olympic river corridors are largely National Forest, and a Discover Pass covers parking at WDFW access areas and DNR land
The default trout limit is 5 per day on lowland lakes (many alpine lakes have no limit) and the bass limit is 5, with extensive selective-gear, catch-and-release and seasonal rules — the Yakima is C&R selective gear and wild steelhead are release-only statewide; always check the current Washington Sport Fishing Rules
