BRATTLEBORO -- Saturday, June 11 is Free Fishing Day in Vermont this year, and it is an excellent opportunity to give fishing a try.
Children who are 14 or younger can fish free all year long, but Free Fishing Day is the one day in the year when all residents and nonresidents may go fishing in Vermont without a fishing license. Special events to help young and old learn the basics about fishing will be held June 11 in Grand Isle, Poultney and St. Albans.
