Great weekend to take the kids or someone else fishing to try a new freshwater place you have never been to.



CATCH THE EXCITEMENT: NEW JERSEY’S TWO SPECIAL
FISHING DAYS OFFER CHANCE TO SAMPLE THE FUN FOR FREE


(09/P12) TRENTON - Residents and visitors can help themselves to free samples of the finest freshwater fishing found anywhere in the Northeast during New Jersey’s Free Fishing Days on Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7.
“On these two special days, anyone can fish anywhere in New Jersey without a license or trout stamp,” Department of Environmental Protection Acting Commissioner Mark N. Mauriello said. “It’s a perfect time for families and friends to discover the simple pleasures of fishing and enjoy quality time together in the outdoors. So if you haven’t gone fishing in New Jersey lately, try it. We think you’ll love it.”
New Jersey offers every type of fishing for every level of angler. Cold, clear streams support a first-rate, year-round trout fishery. Waters statewide are teeming with trout now; just last week, the DEP’s Division of Fish and Wildlife finished stocking some 600,000 trout, including more than 5,000 two-pound to five-pound fish.
Warmwater fishing in New Jersey is spectacular, too. During the past 20 years, the Division of Fish and Wildlife has developed thriving fisheries for a number of popular game fish, and now New Jersey anglers routinely catch world-class muskellunge and walleye as well as northern pike, channel catfish and hybrid striped bass. Outstanding statewide fisheries for largemouth and smallmouth bass, pickerel and many panfish species round out a wide array of warmwater fish available to New Jersey anglers.
Visit the DEP’s Division of Fish and Wildlife Web site at www.njfishandwildlife.com (http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/) for a wealth of information on fishing in New Jersey, including where to fish for trout and various warmwater fish stocked statewide as well as how-to fishing tips for both beginners and advanced anglers.

Good time to take the family out to a lake of pond, no license needed!

The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is reminding the public that this Saturday and Sunday, June 11 and 12, are the state's annual Free Fishing Days. On these days anyone may fish the Garden State's public waters without a license or trout stamp.
Free Fishing Days provide an excellent opportunity to introduce a friend or family member to the joys of fishing. Nonresidents have the opportunity to give the state's great fishing a try, and for someone who hasn't fished in a while it's a chance to get reacquainted with a great activity.
Current anglers who may want to try a new location can take advantage of the new "Great Fishing Close to Home" brochures. Information on waters and the fish they hold make exploring waters nearby but never fished easy and fun.

More information on Free Fishing Days can be found at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/ffd.htm (http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/ffd.htm) on the division's website; the new "Great Fishing" brochures are also on the site at

http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/fishingbrochures.htm (http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/fishingbrochures.htm) .
Anglers are reminded that while the license requirement is waived this weekend, all other regulations, including size and daily catch limits, remain in effect. Anglers should also note that any smallmouth or largemouth bass caught during this time must be released.
Freshwater fishing in New Jersey has never been better, with more kinds of fish and more places for people to catch them than ever before. So don't miss this great opportunity to get outdoors this weekend and "get hooked" on a great sport!
