Celebrate the start of fall by getting out on the water during Virginia’s inaugural Fall Free Fishing Days, happening September 25, 26, and 27!
During these three days, no fishing licenses of any kind will be required for recreational rod and reel fishing in both fresh and saltwater. Also, during that time, facilities use permits will also not be required. To expand angling opportunities, DWR is again lifting the restriction on fishing designated stocked trout waters, which will open access to more than 2,900 miles of trout streams along with numerous ponds, small lakes, and reservoirs. Virginia’s diverse trout habitat offers something for every angler.
All fishing regulations including size, season, catch limits, and gear restrictions will remain in effect. DWR fee fishing areas still require a fee for Free Fishing Days weekend.
Invite family and friends, enjoy crisp autumn days on the water, and help us kick off this first‑ever fall fishing celebration in Virginia!
