About this event
Free fishing days offer residents and non-residents who are 16 and older* to fish without a freshwater fishing license or recreational marine fishing registration (*Kids under 16 can always fish for free!). These days offer the perfect opportunity to try out fishing for the first time, to get back into the sport, or to take a friend or the whole family along to fish! Even though a license is not needed, all other fishing regulations apply.
2025 Free Fishing Days:
- February 15 & 16
- June 28 & 29
- September 27
- November 11
Note, February and November may consist of ice fishing!
