JACKSON, Wyo. — On June 4 the Wyoming Game and Fish Department invites anglers to celebrate Free Fishing Day across Wyoming.
Game and Fish designates the first Saturday of National Boating and Fishing Week each year as a free fishing day when anyone can fish in Wyoming — Wind River Reservation and Yellowstone National Park excluded — without a fishing license.
In Jackson, Kids Fishing Day will start at 10:30 a.m. at Rendezvous “R” Park. Free fishing equipment donated by Jackson Hole One Fly, Trout Unlimited and Teton Co. Conservation District will be available.
Did you know? Wyoming is home to 10 Blue Ribbon trout fisheries. A Blue Ribbon fishery is a designation made in the United States by government and other authorities to identify recreational fisheries of extremely high quality.
“Free Fishing Day is a great time to kick off summer fishing or take up fishing as a new hobby,” said Dirk Miller, Game and Fish deputy chief of fisheries. “If you need some tips to start off, head to the Game and Fish YouTube page for how-to videos.”
All fishing regulations, creel and size limits, gear restrictions and stream closures remain in effect. Anglers can review the 2022 Fishing Regulations online before heading out and plan their trips with the interactive fishing guide.
