Permits, Licenses & Regulations
Chehalis Tribal Members
Annual Licenses can be obtained at the Chehalis Tribal Accounting Office
Non-Chehalis Tribal Members
All persons not enrolled with the Chehalis Tribe are required to purchase a “Hook n Line” permit
These can be obtained at the Chehalis Tribal Accounting Office.
Nonmembers may engage in hook and line sports fishing on the Reservation if they have purchased a nonmember hook and line permit and if they are accompanied by a Tribal member. Because the depletion of fish has a direct adverse effect on the economic security of members of the Chehalis Tribe and their families, the number of nonmember permits may be restricted by the Business Committee or the Fisheries Manager.
A member of the Chehalis Tribe who is eligible to fish under Chapters 10.05 through 10.15 CTC may be assisted by his or her spouse, child, grandchild, or sibling even if that relative is not a member of the Chehalis Tribe. A nonmember relative assisting a Chehalis Tribal member must be accompanied by the Tribal member or have the Tribal member’s fishing permit in his or her possession during any fishing activity. The member must accompany the assisting nonmember relative during an off-Reservation fishing activity.
