This coming weekend is free fishing weekend!

🎣 FREE Fishing Weekend is June 6–7 across Kentucky! ☀️

This statewide event means no fishing license is required for anyone fishing Kentucky waterways during these dates—making it the perfect opportunity to introduce kids and beginners to fishing.

Kentucky State Parks are a great place to make a weekend of it, with easy access to lakes, family-friendly settings, and plenty of outdoor adventure.

Need gear? We’ve got you covered! Check out loaner fishing equipment locations here:
