Each calendar year, the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources designates a “Free Fishing Day” for the public to fish recreationally in public waters without a fishing license.
Saturday, June 13, 2020, is designated as Free Fishing Day as a part of Alabama’s National Fishing and Boating Week, an event that highlights the importance of recreational boating and fishing. This week will run June 6-14, 2020.

There is an exemption of the usual fishing license requirement on that day.
