Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is inviting both residents and out-of-state visitors to take advantage of a special license-free fishing opportunity this June.
The state agency is waiving fishing license requirements for Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7, allowing anglers to fish, crab, and clam in Delaware waters without needing a 2026 fishing permit.
This special weekend coincides with National Fishing and Boating Week, which runs from June 6 through June 14. DNREC is promoting the event as a way for people to participate in the national celebration while enjoying Delaware’s waterways at no cost.
The license waiver applies to all forms of recreational fishing activities in state waters during the designated two-day period.
