Fishing for family fun? Fishing is a much-loved pastime for many. It’s a chance to relax in nature and, more importantly, spend quality time with friends and family.
And, fortunately, many states offer FREE Fishing Days where residents and visitors can fish without a license.
These days are a great opportunity for people new to the sport to experience fishing for the first time. Even better, experienced anglers can share their expertise and introduce a friend or family member to the joys of fishing.
Restrictions and other regulations may apply, depending on each individual state. Be sure to contact your state fish and wildlife agency for specific state regulations.
Many dates occur throughout spring and summer — with most dates falling in June.
