Free Fishing Days are coming in June.

Roaring River State Park invites anglers of all ages and skill levels to come out and wet a line. The Wildlife Code of Missouri has set Free Fishing Days as the Saturday and Sunday following the first Monday in June. This year, those dates are June 11-12, and free fishing is open from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the park both days.

During Free Fishing Days, any resident or nonresident may fish state waters without a permit. However, all other fishing regulations remain in effect. Anglers who fish the trout parks during free fishing weekend will not be required to purchase a daily tag.

Free Fishing Days make it easier for those not familiar with fishing to try it without having to purchase a permit. It’s also a great way to spend family time together, as well as to put food on the table.

Roaring River State Park is located seven miles south of Cassville on Highway 112 in Barry County. For more information about Free Fishing Days, contact the park at 417-847-2539.
