Free Fishing Days in Virginia June 6-8, 2008

June 6-8, 2008 as Free Fishing Days in Virginia this year. This means you won't need a fishing license of any kind for rod and reel fishing in saltwater or freshwater except in designated stocked trout waters on these days.

Please keep in mind that all fishing regulations - such as size, season, catch limits and gear restrictions - will remain in effect.

Most states offer free fishing days as a way to encourage more people to fish. Free fishing days are a great opportunity to take the family out for a some outdoor fun.

For more information, visit the Virginia Department of Fish and Game.

Best Speckled Trout Season in a Decade!

Folks in Virgina are claiming this this to be one of the best Speckled trout fishing seasons in a decade.

At present count there have been 177 Speckled trout weighing more than 5 pounds registered for an award in the Virginia Saltwater Fishing Tournament.

There have been 39 requests for 'catch and release' awards for trout longer than 24 inches.

There also been an extraordinary number of Speckled trout weighing at least 2 pounds being caught!

There is still a month and half to go in the season. If you haven't done so yet, now is the time to get out join the action! From all reports, you won't be sorry!
