Free Massachusetts Fishing Weekend June 6-7

Mark your calendars for this year's Free Fishing Weekend, June 6th and 7th. No license is required to fish any public freshwater lake, pond, reservoir, river, or stream statewide from 12:00 A.M. Saturday June 6th until 11:59 P.M. Sunday June 7th. While you can fish for free on June 6th and 7th, a license is required at all other times for those 15 years of age or older. At all other times, youths ages 15 to 17 must obtain and carry a fishing license; however, licenses are free for that age group. Funds from fishing license sales support MassWildlife's fisheries research, fish stocking programs, and angler education programs.
