The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) announces that Saturday, May 5, and Sunday, May 6, are Free Fishing Days in Rhode Island. Rhode Islanders and visitors alike can fish in the state's freshwaters on both days for all species of freshwater fish, without a fishing license or trout conservation stamp. The free fishing weekend does not apply to saltwater fishing or saltwater licenses.
"We hope families will take time to venture outdoors and head out to a favorite fishing spot during free fishing weekend to experience the excitement of reeling in a trout," said DEM Director Janet Coit. "We're proud to support freshwater fishing through our stocking program so that anglers can experience our beautiful freshwaters and have fun catching beautiful hatchery-raised trout. You might even catch one of the gorgeous golden trout stocked specially for this free event!"
