Game and Fish announce ‘Free Fishing Day’ 2022

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is inviting the public to take up a new hobby this year already enjoyed by millions of Americans, fishing. 

On June 4, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department is inviting anglers to celebrate Free Fishing Day. Each year, Game and Fish designates the first Saturday of National Boating and Fishing Week as a free fishing day when anyone can fish in Wyoming — Wind River Reservation and Yellowstone National Park excluded  —  without a fishing license. 

“Free Fishing Day is a great time to kick off summer fishing or take up fishing as a new hobby,” Game and Fish Deputy Chief of Fisheries Dirk Miller said. “If you need some tips to start off, head to the Game and Fish YouTube page for how-to videos.”

All fishing regulations, creel and size limits, gear restrictions and stream closures remain in effect. Anglers can review the 2022 Fishing Regulations online before heading out and plan their trips with the interactive fishing guide.
