FREE FISHING DAYS JUNE 5-6

Correction to Dates Listed in Fishing Rule Book

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife encourages anglers to take part in Family Free Fishing Days on June 5-6.

As stated by law, the spring Family Free Fishing Days will be held June 5-6, 2010. On these days, any person may fish without a license so long as their license has not previously been suspended or revoked.

Fishing rules and regulations on gear restrictions, and size and bag limits as listed in the fishing law book apply.

Please Note: The new two-year fishing law book released last month by the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife incorrectly identifies the state's spring "Free Family Fishing Days" as May 29-30.

Family Free Fishing Days are designed as an introduction for would-be anglers to the sport of fishing in Maine's waters. Without making a license a requirement on those days, it is a risk-free invitation for newcomers to try the sport for themselves.

For more information, please contact the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife at (207) 287-8000 or visit http://www.maine.gov/ifw/fishing/regulations_seasons/index.htm#freefishingdays.
