Splash into license-free freshwater fishing

Mark your calendars for an exciting opportunity to cast your lines during the upcoming Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) license free freshwater fishing weekend.

This spring’s license-free fishing weekend is on April 6 and 7 and invites residents and visitors to explore the many recreational freshwater fishing opportunities Florida has to offer, from serene lakes to winding rivers.

“Florida offers an experience seen nowhere else in the world through its abundant fishing opportunities,” said Tom Graef, FWC’s director of the Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management. “License-free fishing weekends help residents and visitors alike connect with friends and family while enjoying the nature Florida has to offer.”

All other rules, such as seasons, bag and size limits, apply.

Anglers of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to take advantage of this special weekend, which allows them to reel in their favorite freshwater species without the need for a fishing license.

Plan for the next freshwater license free fishing weekend on June 8 and 9. ¦
