NYS Free Fishing Days 2024

Haven't fished in a while? Remember the joy of catching a fish again for free! Try fishing for the first time. Invite a friend to New York to fish. Take a spouse or significant other fishing. Take the family fishing...and don't forget the grandparents! 

During Free Fishing Days/Weekends, anyone can fish the fresh waters of New York State and no fishing license is required! All other freshwater fishing regulations still apply.
