Texas is one of the best places in the nation for fishing, and on Saturday, June 4, people can wet a line anywhere in the state for free.
As part of Celebrate National Fishing and Boating Week, on Saturday, June 4 local residents and visitors alike will be able to fish anywhere in Texas without a license. However, normal regulations concerning catch size and quantity still apply.  
The annual national event is coordinated by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation and coincides with the TakeMeFishing nonprofit organization’s free fishing days throughout the country.
To celebrate this year’s festivities, TakeMeFishing will be sponsors for a “Memories on the Water” video contest. For details on this contest and other information, visit the www.takemefishing.org.
