Normally, to go fishing in the state of Colorado, you have to have a license. Said license will cost you a little cash, but for a couple of days this weekend fishing is free for all in Colorado!

Colorado Parks and Wildlife will allow anyone to fish without a license anywhere in Colorado on Saturday and Sunday, June 7 and 8.

The annual event during the first weekend of June aims to get families, friends and anglers back into Colorado’s outdoors to fish for cold and warm water fish species.

CPW has resources to help those interested in fishing throughout the state. The agency has a map here with 101 family-friendly fishing sites.

After Sunday, anglers need a license to fish in Colorado. Licenses can be purchased online, at any CPW office or from more than 600 sales agents across the state. For more information, call 800-244-5613 or visit this website.
