Maine Free Family Fishing Days This Weekend

Fish for free this weekend in Maine.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife set this weekend, June 2 and 3, as Free Family Fishing Days. On these designated days anyone can fish in Maine waters without a license. These days are listed in the 2018 Maine Open Water and Ice Fishing Law Book.

The event gives Mainers an opportunity to try the sport without having to purchase a fishing license. If your fishing license has been suspended or revoked, no fishing for you.

All other laws and regulations must be followed. Those regulations and bag limits can vary depending on the body of water you choose to fish. It's recommended that you read through the 2018 Maine Open Water and Ice Fishing Law Book.
