Get your fishing gear and head to your favorite fishing spot in New York

An exciting development for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers across New York State, Governor Kathy Hochul has declared June 29th and 30th as Free Fishing Weekend. This initiative, aimed at promoting recreational fishing and conservation awareness, invites residents and visitors alike to experience the joy of fishing without the need for a fishing license.

New York State is renowned for its diverse natural landscapes, from the picturesque Adirondack Mountains to the stunning shores of Long Island. With over 7,500 lakes and ponds, and thousands of miles of rivers and streams, the Empire State offers abundant opportunities for fishing enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels.

Governor Hochul's announcement of Free Fishing Weekend not only encourages individuals and families to explore the beauty of New York's waterways but also underscores the importance of conservation efforts.  To join in the excitement of Free Fishing Weekend on June 29th and 30th, simply gather your fishing gear and head to your favorite fishing spot in New York State.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or a curious beginner, Free Fishing Weekend offers a perfect opportunity to connect with nature and create lasting memories on the water.  For more information on fishing locations, regulations, and events happening during Free Fishing Weekend, visit the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation website or contact your local fishing organizations and community groups.
