It\u2019s an ideal time to take the family out for some fun and relaxing outdoor recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fishing already is a bargain. Arizona fishing licenses start at just $37 for residents 18 and older. A combination hunt and fish license for youths (10-17) are only $5.&nbsp; Arizona\u2019s Free Fishing Day is celebrated as part of National Fishing and Boating Week. As an incentive, a fishing license is not required Saturday for persons fishing any public waters in Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhether you\u2019re a seasoned angler who wants to introduce a newcomer to the sport, or someone who\u2019s always been interested but never took that next step, this is the perfect time to get outdoors and experience what fishing in Arizona is all about,\u201d said Julie Carter, aquatic wildlife branch chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While a fishing license is not needed June 1, bag limits and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azgfd.com\/fishing-2\/licenses-and-regulations\/\"><strong>fishing regulations<\/strong><\/a> still apply and must be observed on Free Fishing Day. Children under 10 can fish for free all year long in Arizona, so this special fishing license exemption means that older kids and parents get a free pass for the day, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, once you\u2019re hooked, remember to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azgfd.com\/fishing-2\/licenses-and-regulations\/\"><strong>purchase a fishing license<\/strong><\/a>. The purchase of a fishing license directly contributes to state conservation programs, including fisheries management, habitat protection and fishing education. A portion of all fishing and boating supplies, as well as license and registration sales, fund the conservation and preservation of our nation&#8217;s waterways through a program called the Sport Fish Restoration Program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While a fishing license is not needed June 1, bag limits and other regulations still apply. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":7350,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[92],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-main-site"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Arizona\u2019s Free Fishing Day is Saturday, June 1 - Arizona Game &amp;
