New York State Residents to Enjoy Free Fishing This Weekend. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has announced a "Free Fishing Weekend" for residents, taking place on June 27-28. During this period, New York state residents will not need a recreational fishing license to fish in freshwater, saltwater, or Great Lakes. This annual event aims to promote fishing as a recreational activity and encourage people to explore the state's vast waterways and fishing spots. With no license required, anglers of all skill levels can try their hand at catching a variety of fish species, from trout to bass, and enjoy the great outdoors.
