Purchase a fishing license Washington, then spend a day fishing for crappie with the kids at Potholes Reservoir or reeling in perch off of the docks at Lake Stevens. Fishing creates an opportunity to teach kids about how to follow rules and identify different types of fish. Buy your license, read the fishing regulations, and take a kid fishing in Washington.
