CONCORD, N.H. (WCAX) - Take out the tackle box and buy some bait - this weekend is free fishing weekend in New Hampshire.

On Saturday, you can fish anywhere in New Hampshire without a license. Residents and non-residents alike can cast their lines.

New Hampshire Fish and Game says to expect crowds and maybe hit smaller fishing holes instead.

They have a map on their website of what areas were stocked for the season.

While you don’t need a license, all other fishing rules apply.

Vermont holds free fishing next weekend, and New York’s is at the end of the month.
