🎣 Free Fishing Weekend: Inspiring the Next Generation!

Looking for the perfect excuse to get out on the water? The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Free Fishing Weekend is happening from Friday, June 12 at noon through midnight Sunday, June 14!

During this weekend, anyone can fish in Arkansas without a license.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to introduce a kid to the magic of the river, this is it. Clean water, the thrill of the first tug on the line, and the peace of the outdoors—these are the moments that spark a lifelong passion. By taking a young person fishing this weekend, you aren’t just teaching them a skill; you are raising the next generation of conservationists who will love, respect, and protect watersheds like our beautiful Little Red River.

🌟 How to Participate:

No License Required: From Friday noon until Sunday night, residents and non-residents can fish absolutely free. (All other fishing regulations, such as daily limits, still apply!)

Grab a Buddy: Take a son, a daughter, a niece, a nephew, or a neighbor out to experience the river.

Keep it Fun: Pack plenty of snacks, prioritize patience, and focus on the experience.

Let’s ensure the future of our cold-water fisheries by sharing our passion today. See you on the water! 🌲🐟
