You can fish for free in New York this month. According to the DEC, New York offers free fishing throughout the state, three times this year. You may have missed the one in February, but there is another one later this month.

Enjoy free fishing the weekend of June 25th and 26th.

So why free fishing?  You try it out and you might find you like it, and then purchase a fishing license and maybe even a boat and a new pole.  Not only is this great advertising for the state parks, but also for the retailers who sell sporting equipment, right?

Find more information on the DEC website, including places to fish, fishing clinics, fishing regulations and more.  It even has information about taking kids fishing.  Check it out, you just might discover or re-discover an old or new passion.  See you on the water!
