Free Fishing Day planned Nov. 11 in St. Lawrence County

Posted

In honor of veterans, New York State will hold a statewide Free Fishing Day on Friday, Nov. 11. Selected to coincide with Veterans Day, Nov. 11 will mark the final Free Fishing Day of the year.

Fishing is considered one of the most therapeutic outdoor activities, making it an ideal activity for veterans, those currently serving in the military, and all New Yorkers looking to get outside and enjoy the outdoors.

"We are casting out a line for all of New York's veterans with this Free Fishing Day as a way to honor those who served," Governor Hochul said. "Thanks to our extensive conservation efforts to protect our natural resources and environment, New York continues to provide outstanding fishing opportunities for anglers of all skill levels and abilities. This free fishing day will provide a great opportunity for our brave individuals who have served to protect our democracy and our freedoms to enjoy one of New York State's many world-class fishing locations."

During designated Free Fishing Days, anglers do not need a fishing license to fish New York's fresh waters. All other fishing regulations are in effect.
