Licenses and tags may be purchased at local stores or online.  

If you are interested in buying your license online, you must either create an account or if you've had a license in the past 3 years in Oregon, verify/look-up your account and then complete the account set-up process.  You may use the guest checkout option (instead of setting up an account) for single day or multi-day licenses (not annual licenses and tags) if you intend to print  a paper license at home before your trip.  Guest checkout cannot be used if you would like your license and tag on your phone.

If you choose to set-up an account, you will need to select either e-tagging or paper tagging.  If you choose paper tagging you will need to print a paper license and tag.  A screenshot of the license and tag is not sufficient. 

If you choose e-tagging you must install the MyODFW app on your phone.  You will need to remember your username and password from account set-up to sign in to the app.   Before your trip, login to the MyODFW app and sync with your account and become familiar with the e-tagging process.  Internet access is not always available on the river for account set-up, app installation or to sync.  Also be sure to have a fully charged phone battery so you may access your license/tag in the app to tag fish or if requested to be  seen by law enforcement.
