For two days, the Ohio of Department of Natural Resources is opening the public waterways up to all state residents who wish to fish.
This year’s “Free Fishing Days” take place on Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21.
The weekend is the only time all year that Ohioans who are 16 years and older are not required to obtain a fishing license to cast out in local places and Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River.
“Ohio offers extraordinary fishing opportunities in its lakes, reservoirs, rivers and streams,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “I invite all Ohioans to get outside and create lasting memories with family and friends during our free fishing days weekend.”
