On this last weekend in June, get outside and fish! With free fishing days, the Department of Environmental Protection lifts fishing permits on all areas in the city to let you fish for free!

Don't know how to fish? Clinics are available for both adults and children. Equipment is provided along with information on fishing techniques, fish identification, fisheries management, angling ethics, and aquatic ecology.

A permit may still be required for the New York City Watershed and all other rules and regulations remain in effect.

Location: Throughout NYS
