We have another free family "catch" for you and your kids this summer from your friends at Macaroni KID South Hills.
Fish-for-Free Days allow anyone (resident or non-resident) to legally fish on Pennsylvania waterways on the designated days with NO FISHING LICENSE REQUIRED (Trout/Salmon and Lake Erie permits are also NOT required). All other fishing regulations still apply.
Fish-for-Free Days are great ways for families to “CATCH” the fun of fishing! This year, PA Fish-for-Free Days are on Sunday, May 26, 2024 and Thursday, July 4, 2024.
