Free Freshwater Fishing In Florida This Weekend

April 2, 2011

Grab a pole — both Florida residents and nonresidents can fish in public fresh waters across the state this weekend.

The Florida Legislature and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have designated the first full weekend in April each year as Florida’s Free Freshwater Fishing Weekend, coinciding with Children & Nature Awareness Month.

While the public freshwater fishing is free Saturday and Sunday with no license needed, all other fishing rules apply. For more information, visit MyFWC.com/Fishing.
