Many states offer Free Fishing Days.  It's a great opportunity to take advantage of some bordering states fine fisheries, without having to pay for a license.  I'm familiar with PA, NJ, and NY, and have listed their 2008 Free Fishing days below.  If you know of other Northeast states Free Fishing days in 2008, please add to the list so our members might take advantage of these opportunities.  Also be aware that the state rules and regulations must be followed, so it would be wise to look at their regulations online before utilizing their free days.

I'll be going to Wachussett Res  ;D

you should check out the sudbury reservoir, too. it's shore fishing only i guess (i've never been) but my sister and her boyfriend go a lot and they bang out some decent sized smallies.

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check it out.  Isn't Wachussett shore fishing only also?

i believe so. i have yet to fish either of those two reservoirs. they're both at the top of my list though.

Wachusett is shore,

Not sure about Sudbury Reservoir!

I though you guys were talking about the sudbury River!  LOL

i know sudbury is shore only.

For those looking to fish in OHIO, the fish for free days are:

May 3 & 4, 2008

I've gone out to Ohio the last couple of years for the free days and haven't had very good luck. Can anyone suggest a couple good lakes/rivers to fish in the Akron/Canton area where I might have some good success? I'm tired of getting skunked or having very little success. Also,any good fishing lakes where we could rent a boat? Looking to fish bass or walleye or anything that will bite! : )

This should be stickied
