CONCORD, N.H. - Take advantage of New Hampshire's Free Fishing Day, coming Saturday, June 6, 2015. On Free Fishing Day, you can fish anywhere in New Hampshire - freshwater or saltwater - without a fishing license. Plan to get out and enjoy the day fishing with your family and friends. Both state residents and nonresidents may participate. All other fishing regulations must be followed on Free Fishing Day, including season dates and bag limits.
"Free Fishing Day is a great opportunity for anglers to take someone interested in 'testing the waters,' or for families wishing to engage in an outdoor activity," said Jason Smith, Inland Fisheries Chief for the N.H. Fish and Game Department. "They are sure to be 'hooked' after a fun day of fishing."
For details on fishing rules for various waters, consult the 2015 N.H. Freshwater and Saltwater fishing digests, available at http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/fishing/publications.html.
You can find lots more information about fishing on the Fish and Game website at http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/fishing, including waterbodies that have been recently stocked with fish, trout waters, lake depths, fishing reports, public access sites and more.
Free Fishing Day kicks off the 2015 National Fishing and Boating Week, a nationwide observance encouraging families to have fun together on the water.
