ALBANY, N.Y. ( NEWS10 ) — New Yorkers will have the opportunity to go freshwater fishing without the required fishing license on Saturday and Sunday. Governor Kathy Hochul reminds New York residents that all other fishing regulations remain in effect during this free fishing weekend.

This free weekend will allow people to dip their toes into the fishing world and discover if this is a hobby they’d like to pursue. Those who would like to participate but don’t have a fishing rod are in luck.

The Department of Environmental Conservation has partnered with libraries across the state for a fishing rod lending program. There will be participating libraries in Albany, Columbia, Essex, Fulton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Ulster, and Washington Counties.
