Nebraska Free Fishing & Park Entry Day - May 16, 2009

If you are looking for an opportunity to go fishing but you haven’t purchased your license yet, or don’t want to because you don’t go enough, or have a friend you want to take fishing, but he/she just won’t buy a license . . .then consider taking advantage of Nebraska’s Free Fishing and Park Entry Day. Here is the information from the 2009 NE fishing guide (p. 25).

FREE FISHING DAY - MAY 16

Free Fishing and Park Entry Day is intended to attract those who no longer fish or who have never fished with an opportunity to do so without purchasing a permit. It is held on the Saturday prior to Memorial Day weekend. Anglers, both resident and nonresident, can take advantage of that day by taking a nonangling friend to any public body of water in the state and showing them how much fun fishing can be.

Nebraska sets aside one day each May to help promote fishing and outdoor recreation at its state parks. In doing so, all regular fees are waived (though all other regulations still apply).

Note that it applies to residents and nonresidents. This is a great day to take your kids, grandkids, or a friend fishing.
