Tips for "Catch Record Card" report
The Catch Record Card is an important management tool for estimating the recreational catch of sturgeon, steelhead, salmon, halibut, and Puget Sound Dungeness crab. A catch record card must be in your possession to fish for these species.
Washington Administrative Code (WAC 220-56-175, WAC 220-69-236) requires all kept sturgeon, steelhead, salmon, halibut, and Puget Sound Dungeness Crab to be recorded on your Catch Record Card, and requires all anglers to return their Catch Record Card by April 30, or for Dungeness crab by the date indicated on the card, even if nothing is caught or you did not fish.

Why Must I Return My Catch Record Card if I Didn't Catch Anything?
Post-season sport harvest estimates are a necessary component in evaluating future fishery management options. To make post-season harvest estimates accurate, it is necessary that all anglers' harvests be represented and therefore, all catch record cards must be returned to WDFW.
I lost my catch record card? What do I do?
