September 3 is Free Fishing Day, a day anyone can fish without purchasing a fishing license.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) offers two Free Fishing Days each year, typically around the Fourth of July and Labor Day weekends. Free Fishing Day provides a no-cost way to give fishing a try.
While no fishing license is required on Free Fishing Day, all fishing regulations remain in effect. For more information, visit the California Department of Fish and Game website.– /wp:paragraph –>
