Overview

RULE:

68A-5.006

Designation of Free-Freshwater Fishing Days; License Requirements and Regulation Compliance

PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect of this rule amendment would be to provide a greater opportunity for individuals and families to enjoy a free Saturday fishing, without the requirement of a license, in Florida’s fresh waters. This also enables partners to put on outreach events that adults can participate in without the need to purchase a license. The net effect that we hope to achieve is enhanced recruitment, retention and engagement of anglers that ultimately will lead to a greater commitment to conservation stewardship, more time spent fishing, and a positive local economic impact.

SUBJECT:

Two day exemption from freshwater fishing license requirement.
