New York State Adds Another Free Fishing Day This Weekend

New York State has added another free fishing day this weekend! If you love to fish or want to try it for the first time, you will get another chance this weekend with a free fishing day. That means you can enjoy freshwater fishing without needing a license.

This awesome event is part of the Free Fishing Days program, which started back in 1991. The idea is to give everyone a taste of fishing without any cost, hopefully sparking a new hobby and encouraging everyone to support conservation efforts by purchasing a fishing license down the road.

Just a heads up: even though you don’t need a fishing license this weekend, all other fishing regulations are still in effect. So make sure you follow the rules to keep everything running smoothly.

There are a few more free fishing days until the end of the year. They are:
