Sunday will be the first of two fish-for-free days in Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will waive its license requirement on Sunday, allowing anglers to fish within public waterways across the state without possessing a fishing license.

From 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m., no fishing license is required to fish, however all other fishing regulations, including seasons and creel limits, apply. Complete fishing regulations can be viewed using the FishBoatPA mobile app or the PFBC website, www.fishandboat.com.
“Fish-for-Free Days are the perfect opportunity to try fishing for the first time, reconnect with the water, or share your passion for fishing with someone new,” said Amber Nabors, director of the PFBC Bureau of Outreach, Education, and Marketing. “Many people will be enjoying the holiday weekend together for picnics at state parks, campgrounds, and other places near the water. Now you can spend some time fishing at no cost, other than the bait you choose.”
The second fish-for-free event will be on July 4.
