COLUMBUS, Ohio (WJW) – Ohio residents will have the chance to fish for free on June 17-18, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.
This annual event, which aims to expand access to and participation in fishing, is an opportunity for beginners and experienced anglers to fish at any of Ohio’s public waters, including Lake Erie and the Ohio River, without the need for a license.
“Fishing is a pastime that’s meant to be shared with friends and family,” Ohio Governor Mike DeWine said. “We encourage everyone to come out and experience the abundant fishing opportunities Ohio has to offer.”
