NEW YEAR, NEW FREE FISHING DAYS

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.



New Year, New Free Fishing Days

Each year, New York State designates free fishing days where residents and non-residents can fish without a freshwater fishing license. The first free fishing days are on the 14th and 15th, and coincide with Valentine’s Day, which makes for a perfect date with your valentine! While the fishing license requirement is waived for the day, all other freshwater fishing regulations apply.

2026 Free Fishing Days
 
*February 14-15 (President's Day Weekend)
*June 27-28
*September 26 (National Hunting and Fishing Day)
*November 11 (Veterans Day)
