FISHING -- Washington anglers are required to have the new 2011-2012 fishing licenses as of April 1, but that might not be all you need -- or want.

Possible additions to the basic license include:

• Columbia River Salmon and Steelhead Endorsement Stamp if you plan to fish for salmon or steelhead on the Columbia River and its tributaries. Cost: $8.75.
• Two-pole permit , allows anglers to use two poles at one time on certain waters in order to achieve a single daily limit of fish.  It costs $24.50.   A bill in the legislature would lower that fee considerably,but it has not yet passed, and even if does, it wouldn't go into effect until July 1.
