Statewide Iowa (RI) – Iowans need to have their poles, nets and bait ready, as the first weekend in June means Free Fishing Weekend in Iowa. Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Bureau, says anyone who’s a resident of Iowa can fish without a license on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Larscheid says the DNR website has plenty of information on the big weekend.

He says it’s easy to buy a fishing license with the DNR’s online licensing system. Download the Go Outdoors IA mobile app to buy and store your fishing license, so you will always have access to your license. Yearly, seven-day, or 24-hour fishing licenses are available.
