WYOMING – Every year, the first Saturday in June is a “free” fishing day in waters across Wyoming. Anyone can fish without purchasing a license this year on June 1 at any Wyoming waterway managed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (not to include the Wind River Reservation or Yellowstone National Park). WGFD fisheries across the state are hosting special events to encourage novice anglers to get their feet wet and find a new favorite pastime.
Though a license is not required, all fishing regulations must be observed, so do your research before you head out. And remember, if you are heading onto the water, don’t forget the Clean, Drain Dry protocol to prevent spreading invasive aquatic species from spreading through Wyoming waterways.
