On May 11, 2013, everyone is invited to experience the many excellent fishing locations in Connecticut without having to possess a fishing license. Take advantage of this opportunity to try fishing for a day and become hooked! This is also a wonderful opportunity to open up new anglers to the exciting sport of fishing which the rest of us know and love.
Feel free to strike out on your own or plan on fishing at one of several locations across the state which will be freshly stocked with trout. Locations include Kent Falls State Park (Kent), Chatfield Hollow State Park (Killingworth), Hubbard Park (Meriden), and the No Child Left Inside/CARE Family Fishing Day event at Osbornedale State Park (Derby).
Please remember that while participating in Free Fishing Day 2013, all fishing regulations, including seasons, size limits, and catch limits remain in effect. For additional information, including places to fish, current regulations, purchasing your fishing license, and periodic updates regarding free fishing day, you can visit the Connecticut DEEP Fisheries Division web page at www.ct.gov.
