Vermont’s annual, statewide Summer Free Fishing Day is Saturday, June 8 this year, and it will be highlighted by opening day of the state’s regular bass fishing season.
Free Fishing Day gives resident and nonresident anglers the opportunity to go fishing without a license for the day in Vermont lakes and streams.
Free Fishing Day in Vermont also will be celebrated statewide. Events statewide will be offered for young or novice anglers and families, including basic fishing instruction and the chance for kids to catch big trout in a hatchery pond. No prior fishing experience is needed.
Vermont’s regular bass season also opens on June 8, marking the start of some of the best bass fishing action in the Northeast. The season opens each year on the second Saturday in June and extends through the last day of November.
