The final free fishing day of the year will be on Wednesday, Veterans Day, where anyone can recreationally fish the freshwaters of the state without a freshwater fishing license.
This offers an opportunity to try out fishing for the first time, get back into the sport after taking a break, or take a friend or the whole family along to fish, the state Department of Environmental Conservation said.
Even though a license is not required, all fishing regulations apply. Click here for more on the regulations.
