Free Fishing Day on June 3 applies to all waters in Wyoming with the exception of Yellowstone National Park and the Wind River Indian Reservation, where special fishing licenses are required. All fishing regulations, such as creel and size limits, fishing hours, and stream closures, still apply.
Free fishing day was authorized in 2003 by the Wyoming Legislature and is held in conjunction with National Fishing and Boating Week.
