Mass. — The Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) says residents and visitors can fish in any public lake, pond, river, or stream on June 1 and 2 without a license.

The annual event is done to encourage people to experience the joys of fishing.

Participants must adhere to all fishing regulations.

Outside of the free fishing weekend, residents will need a license to fish in fresh water and you must be 15 or older.
