FRESHWATER FISHING: Allows nonresidents age 16 and over to fish the freshwaters of Alabama. Due to reciprocal agreements, special prices apply to residents
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Alabamians will have a day in June when they just need a rod and reel to fish, not a license.
The state's Legislature approved a free fishing day on Saturday, June 12, as part of National Fishing and Boating Week.
It allows for an annual day to fish in state waters without a license. The exemption applies to both freshwater and saltwater fishing.
Barnett Lawley, commissioner of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, says such an event provides a great opportunity for Alabama families to spend time together outdoors.
Some lakes might require fees and permits, and permission is still needed to fish in private ponds.
In an effort to draw visitors to his state's beaches in the wake of
the Deepwater Horizon blowout, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist announced before the Memorial Day that he was authorizing 2 free saltwater fishing weekends for
residents and non-residents.
At that time, Lawley said that unless unforeseen legal issues arise, plans call for the first free weekend in Alabama to be on the Father's Day weekend, June 19-20.
