Each year, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission flings open the angler’s gate, throws caution to the wind, and allows any old soul to cast their hooks into the waterways of Arkansas. It’s Free Fishing Weekend, a devil-may-care Rumspringa where anyone can fish in Arkansas without a fishing license or bass stamp from noon on Friday, June 9, through midnight on Sunday night, June 11.
Don’t know where to go? The Game and Fish Department is stocking all these places with catchable-size catfish (we’re guessing they’re not talking about these guys) for the weekend, as well as additional locations where fishing derbies will be held.
