Free fishing near me

If you want to get someone started in fishing or you just didn’t a buy a fishing license yet, two days are coming up that will allow you to wet your line for free.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has made May 26, the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, and July 4, Independence Day, free fishing days.

Normally, any angler who is at least 16 years old needs a fishing license to fish on public waterways, but the license regulation is waived on these days.

All other fishing regulations apply.

What to catch

Among the species that are open on most commonwealth waterways over Memorial Day include trout with a limit of five fish at least seven inches long, and walleye with a daily creel limit of six fish at least 15 inches long.
