If you think you might enjoy fishing, but have never had the chance, it won’t cost a dime in. license fees if you go fishing anywhere in Virginia on June 7th, 8th or 9th. Whether it’s stripers on the coast, trout in the mountains or anything in between, this is the time to experience the fun of fishing that Virginia has to offer.
DGIF is offering three full days of free fishing, June 7–9. Anyone can fish free in public waters around the state without having to buy a fishing license. Just remember, all fishing regulations – size limits, creel limits, etc. – still apply.
Also, many from the DGIF staff will be on hand at numerous events across the state to help you get started with demonstrations, tackle boxes and loaner gear.
It’s free. Go fishing!
