A special opportunity to make memories and try something new comes with the right price tag. The DWR has announced that Free Fishing Day, which allows anyone to fish at any public waterbody in Utah without a license, will be Saturday, June 8th. Every summer, this event offers an easy way to get outdoors and introduce kids, neighbors, and friends to the fun of fishing. “Because you don’t need a license to fish on Free Fishing Day, it’s the perfect time to take someone with you and introduce them to this fun sport,” shares Sportfish Coordinator Trina Hedrick. “Early June is one of the best times to fish in Utah. All of the fish in the state, both warmwater and coldwater species, are active and willing to bite this time of the year.” Another fun tradition with Free Fishing Day is the option to commemorate a first catch with a fun DWR certificate. The certificate can be printed at home and filled in with the details to document the occasion. For more information on Free Fishing Day and beyond, visit wildlife.utah.gov.
