No license required: Sunday is Fish-For-Free Day in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will offer its first of two Fish-For-Free Days on Sunday, when anyone can fish, even without a state fishing license.

The second free fishing day will be July 4.

The commission is offering the free days to open up fishing opportunities for the public, especially during the holidays, when so many people are outdoors near waterways.

To make the fishing experience more convenient on the Fish-for-Free days, people can borrow equipment from dozens of fishing tackle loaner sites across the state. Many of the sites are in state parks, which are a popular place for visitors on the Memorial Day weekend. Loaner sites are also available at county parks and some public libraries.
