Free Trout Fishing! September 23, 2006
September 23, 2006 is FREE FISHING DAY in California!
The Department of Fish and Game of California offers two “Free Fishing Days” each year. What this means is that you can fish without having to purchase a license . Some department offices even offer free lessons on the free fishing days. They also have a “fishing in the City” program where they offer fishing lessons in the middle of metropolitan areas.
“Fishing in the City” and free fishing day clinics are designed to educate people just like you about fish habits, proven methods of catching fish, and tackle you’ll need. You can even learn how to clean and prepare your catch so you can enjoy it for dinner that night!
Please keep in mind however that all fishing regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, fishing hours and stream closures are still intact.
