Each year, the last
full weekend in June is designated as Free Fishing Days in New
York State. During those two days, anyone can fish New York State
waters, and no fishing license is required.
This event started in 1991 to allow all people the opportunity to sample the incredible fishing New York State has to offer. Since no license is required, it is a perfect time to take a friend or relative fishing. This year New York State’s Free Fishing Days are Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29. In October 2002, new license fees went into effect. The following is a list of the new fees for fishing licenses in New York State.
