Illinois residents can fish free of charge in numerous locations this weekend as the state’s annual Free Fishing Days begin on Friday.

According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Free Fishing Days will take place from June 14-17. During this period, residents can fish without a license, salmon stamp, or inland trout stamp.

The four-day event coincides with National Go Fishing Day, officially set for June 16.

For those who wish to continue fishing through the summer, fishing licenses are available for purchase through various vendors and retailers or on the IDNR website. Individuals over the age of 16 may obtain a fishing license for $15, which remains valid through March 2025. Those under the age of 16 do not need a license.
