Fish for Free Days allow any one, whether they are resident or non-residents of Pennsylvania, to legally fish in the state without a fishing license.

Families and friends, who are visiting Pennsylvania’s popular outdoor spots over the Memorial Day holiday on weekend and can enjoy the day of free fishing.

The Sunday of Memorial Day weekend on May 28, marks the first of two free fishing days in the Commonwealth. The second is Independence Day on Tuesday, July 4.

The Fish-for-Free Days allow anyone, let it be the residents or non-residents to legally fish in Pennsylvania without a fishing license. From 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM on both the days. No fishing license is needed to fish in Pennsylvania’s waterways. But all other fishing regulations apply.

“Fish-for-Free days offer an easy, convenient way to introduce friends and family to the sport of fishing, or to reconnect with the sport if you haven’t fished in a while,” said Steve Kralik, director of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Bureau of Outreach, Education and Marketing. “Many families already spend the day at lakes and parks throughout the state. Now they can try fishing at no cost.”

“We know that once people, especially kids, try fishing, they will see how much fun it is and will want to do it more often,” he added.
