On the first Saturday in June each year the good people at Texas Parks and Wildlife host a fun day inviting everyone to enjoy some time fishing recreationally and you aren’t required to have any fishing license or endorsements.

But all you need to do is feel the tug on your line in the water once; that is enough to get you hooked on fishing.

To make sure I had the correct day, I checked the Texas Parks and Wildlife website, which confirmed that Saturday, June 7th, 2025, will be Free Fishing Day in Texas.

Now obviously, you’re encouraged to buy your own fishing license and go fishing way more than just one time per year. But if you have never tried fishing before and want to give it a shot, June 1st might be the perfect day to try it out.

Texas Parks and Wildlife Can Be Super Helpful

There is so much great information on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website including fishing reports, recommendations on where to fish, all fishing regulations, and everything you need to know about getting your fishing license in Texas.

Enjoy your time outdoors, just be safe.
