Want to go fishing?

June

Then this is your weekend. Tomorrow and Sunday make up the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s Free Fishing Weekend.

The annual free fishing weekend is the perfect time for residents and visitors to share the sport of fishing and create lasting memories with a friend or family member out fishing for the first time, or to reignite interest among those who may not have taken to the water in recent years. DEC first held the weekend in 1991 to allow all people the opportunity to sample the incredible fishing New York State has to offer.

Follow the link above to a DEC site, which will lead you to any necessary information, such as all the other freshwater fishing rules still in effect, as well as reminding you that should you fish a NYC reservoir, you still need a permit from them.
