Arizona has scheduled its annual free fishing days for June 5 and 12 as part of National Fishing and Boating Week.
On these Saturdays, no fishing license is required for persons fishing any of the Urban Fishing Program lakes or other statewide public waters.
Many waters in Arizona are scheduled for fish stockings. Remember that bag limits and other fishing regulations are in full effect and must be observed on Free Fishing Day.
Kids under the age of 14 can fish for free all year long in Arizona, so this special fishing license exemption day means that the older kids and parents get a free pass for the day.
FISHING CLINICS
The Game and Fish Department is sponsoring a number of Free Fishing Day fishing clinic events statewide. Loaner fishing rods and reels can be checked out and bait and help is provided at the following locations Saturday, June 12:
