FREE Fishing Weekend: Catch More Than A Buzz In North Dakota

Time to dust off your rods and reels and do some fishing in North Dakota.

According to the North Dakota Game and Fish, the state of North Dakota will be offering up a free fishing weekend to its residents.  This special weekend is for residents only.

This FREE fishing weekend will take place on Saturday, June 7th, and Sunday, June 8th.

Fishing is truly good for the soul.  There's something so therapeutic about watching a bobber go up and down and feeling that tug on your rod that could get you hooked for life.

I've been a fisherman all my life, and it's something I look forward to every time I hit the water.  I was that weird little kid who enjoyed watching fishing shows on TV growing up.

I remember having a notepad and pen handy, so I could take notes on how they were catching fish on the show I was watching. Like I said, the weird kid.

Guys like Tony Dean, Bill Dance, Jason Mitchell, and Al Linder were all idols in my home growing up.  Not only did they know how to catch fish, but they actually showed you HOW to catch them.

What's special about fishing is that anybody can do it.  I've passed on my knowledge to my son, and it's pretty cool to see how he has taken to the sport.

Now, he's teaching me way more than I ever taught him.  He watches fishing shows on YouTube 24/7, and it's amazing how much you can learn.

So, if you haven't fished in a while, the first weekend in June is the time to take your kids fishing and make some memories.

And, you can even do it for FREE. The North Dakota Game and Fish has a list of over 400 lakes you can fish HERE this weekend. Tight lines, everybody.
