Fishing for family fun? The fish are starting to bite at waters all around the state and outdoorsy bargain hunters can take the bait of FREE fishing the first full weekend in June. Colorado Parks and Wildlife invites anglers of all ages to participate in its annual FREE Fishing Weekend, June 1 and 2, 2024.
No license is required, so it’s a no-cost way for Coloradoans who have never fished (or haven’t in a long time) to cast their fishing rod in our state’s beautiful lakes and rivers.
You can buy a fishing license here. 2024 licenses go on sale March 1, 2024 and are valid through March 31, 2025.
CPW’s website is a river of information, including a page with 101 suggested spots to take kids fishing.
