Free Fishing Weekend Events
For 2025, Free Fishing Weekend is June 7 and 8. This means anglers do not need a state fishing license to fish public waters, but all other privileges, regulations, and harvest restrictions are in effect. Below is a list of events hosted by KDWP, Fishing's Future, Kansas Wildscape Foundation, partners, and/or communities across Kansas on these days. This will be updated as events are added. Visit the Outdoor Event Calendar on the main page or the Aquatic Education Calendar on this page for more events and details.
