RICHMOND, Va. – Whether you love to fish or if you are a novice, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is offering all Virginians the chance to fish for free this weekend.

Free Fishing Days begins Friday, June 7 through Sunday, June 9.

“Whether its stripers on the coast, trout in the mountains, or anything in between, it is time to experience the fun of fishing in Virginia,” said a VDGIF spokesperson.
