Saturday, Sept. 3 is the second of California’s two 2011 Free Fishing Days, when people can try their hand at fishing without having to buy a sport fishing license.
All fishing regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours and stream closures remain in effect.
Every angler must have an appropriate report card if they are fishing for abalone, steelhead, sturgeon or spiny lobster anywhere in the state, or salmon specifically in the Smith and Klamath-Trinity River systems.
DFG offers two Free Fishing Days each year – usually in conjunction with the Fourth of July and Labor Day weekend – when it’s legal to fish without a sport fishing license.
This year, the Free Fishing Days were set for the Saturdays preceding Independence Day and Labor Day (July 2 and Sept. 3) because they fall on holiday weekends, when a fishing excursion is likely to be most convenient for the public.
Free Fishing Days provide a low-cost way to give fishing a try. Some DFG regions offer Fishing in the City programs where you can go fishing in major metropolitan areas.
Fishing in the City and Free Fishing Day clinics are designed to educate novice anglers about fishing ethics, fish habits, effective methods for catching fish and fishing tackle.
You can even learn how to clean and prepare your catch so you can enjoy it for dinner that night.
Anglers should check the rules and regulations at www.dfg.ca.gov/regulations/ for the waters they plan to fish. Wardens will be on duty to enforce them.

“Lake Tahoe is a world treasure, and it is our duty to ensure that its natural splendor is protected for future generations of Californians and Nevadans,” said Brown. “The best way to do that is by working cooperatively with the state of Nevada to promote policies that ensure both the environment and the economy of Lake Tahoe are protected in perpetuity.”
“Gov. Brown and I agreed that while much has changed at Lake Tahoe since the bi-state compact was created in 1969, our two states’ dedication to the resource remain unwavering,” Sandoval said. “I look forward to working with Gov. Brown on updating the regional plan.”
TRPA was created as a regional agency because the Lake Tahoe watershed crosses a number of state and local political boundaries.
The governing board contains seven members from California, seven from Nevada and one non-voting presidential appointee.
The 20-year regional plan that the board is charged with supporting has not been updated since 1987 and is now four years overdue.
The governors are making Lake Tahoe a top priority and seeking a new area of cooperation on issues affecting the lake.
