“Free Freshwater Fishing Weekend is almost here!
This weekend only, you won’t need a license to fish any public lake, pond, reservoir, river, or stream statewide. Take advantage of this opportunity to introduce someone new to fishing or try it yourself! All other rules, including catch limits, apply. Details: bit.ly/2021freefishing
Other than Free Fishing Weekend on June 5–6, you need a license to fish if you’re 15 or older. If you’re 15–17 or 70 and older, your license is free. Funds from fishing license sales support MassWildlife’s fisheries research, stocking, education programs, habitat restoration, and more.
We thank you for your ongoing support.”-Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife.
