If you have been looking for an excuse to get back into fishing, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has one for you this weekend.
KFW will host a free fishing weekend this Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2. Licenses and permits will not be required for Kentucky residents and visitors who are looking to cast out a line.
Tips and tricks for beginners can be found on the Learn to Fish page on the KFW website. Several communities across Kentucky are offering free fishing events for families on Saturday, details for which are also available on the web.
The fishing page of the KFW website also includes the annual fishing forecast which will help anglers identify sites across the state where they are most likely to find success on the water. The Fishing in Neighborhoods Program offers easily accessible, specially stocked lakes near the state’s population centers.
If you are heading out on the water to do your fishing, remember to wear your life jackets and follow all boating laws and regulations. While licenses and permits are not required to fish on June 1 and 2, you must still follow rules on fish size and number limits.
