February 17-18 (President's Day Weekend)
June 29-30
August 31
September 28 (National Hunting and Fishing Day)

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.
