Don't Miss Wyoming's Free Fishing Day!

This upcoming Saturday, June 5, 2021, is Wyoming's Free Fishing Day! The Wyoming Game and Fish Department invites anglers to celebrate Free Fishing Day. Each year, the Game and Fish designates the first Saturday of National Boating and Fishing Week as a free fishing day when anyone can fish in Wyoming (Wind River Reservation and Yellowstone National Park excluded) without a fishing license. All fishing regulations, creel and size limits, gear restrictions, and stream closures remain in effect.

“Free Fishing Day is a great time to kick off summer fishing or take up fishing as a new hobby,” said Alan Osterland, Game and Fish chief of fisheries. “If you need some tips to start off, head to the Game and Fish Youtube page for how-to videos.”

There are many different fishing events happening around Wyoming on June 5th, including one in Cheyenne. The Cheyenne event will be 'Fish with Game and Fish' at Sloans Lake at Lions Park from 7am - 10am. You can borrow a fishing pole and try your luck at fishing!
