Mainers Can Fish ‘License-Free’ On This June Weekend
Celebrating Father's Day a little early but in the full swing of tourist season, the State of Maine is offering a free weekend of fishing for all Mainers.
Free fishing weekends are offered a few times per year here in the State of Maine where anybody may fish without having to obtain a fishing license beforehand. The last free fishing weekend was earlier this year on February 19th and 20th to celebrate the final weeks of winter ice fishing.
This year we get to have a free weekend of fishing on June 4th and 5th. No fishing license is required to fish on these two days but all other laws and regulations will apply on these days.
