Free Fishing on July 4th in North Carolina

Looking for something fun to do on July 4th? Why not fish?! It's an activity the whole family can enjoy. Even folks who don't like to fish will enjoy the time outdoors with picnic or BBQ while the kids fish.

If you live in North Carolina, you can fish for free on July 4th ... no fishing license or trout stamp is required. All other fishing regulations, such as fish length and daily possession limits, as well as bait and tackle restrictions and park-use fees, apply.

Already have plans this year? There's always next year then. Every year North Carolina designates July 4th as a free fishing day in an effort to raise interest in the sport.

New Fishing Laws Help Low Income Families

North Carolina's new fishing laws for 2007 offers aid to families with low incomes. Families who receive food stamps, Medicaid or participate in Work First Family Assistance are eligible for an exemption which allows them to fish without a license. This exemption does not cover trout fishing though.

Many low income families help supplement their diets with fishing, so North Carolina is trying to help these families through this waiver. Any family member who benefits from the resident recieving these benefits, may also receive a waiver. The waiver is only good for one year. After which, low incomes families must reapply if they still qualify.
