Fish Free in Maryland June 6, 13 and July 4

Everyone is encouraged to grab a rod, get outside and take advantage of Maryland’s excellent angling opportunities during free fishing days June 6, June 13 and July 4. No license, trout stamp or saltwater angler registration is required to recreationally fish in state waters on these days.

Maryland also features 23 unique license-free fishing areas, where anglers can fish without a license throughout the year. With the exception of Gambrill Park Pond, a free Saltwater Angler Registration is required to fish in these areas, except on free fishing days.

As always, anglers must adhere to regulations, including size and possession limits, which are available online in the digital 2015 Maryland Fishing Guide. Printed copies of the guide are offered at most Maryland tackle shops and at the seven regional DNR Service Centers.

Anglers 15 years old and younger do not need a license to fish year-round.
