Go fishing for free this weekend in R.I.

Tomorrow and Sunday are free fishing days in Rhode Island, according to the state Department of Environmental Management.

That means Rhode Islanders can fish in the state's fresh waters without a fishing license or a trout conservation stamp, the DEM says.

The free fishing days, established more than a decade ago, are designed to give Rhode Islanders extra incentive to get outside and try something new, the DEM says.

Fledgling fishermen and women can even borrow fishing rods from the Scituate, Lincoln and Coventry libraries.

Regulations on size and catch limits apply on the free fishing days. More information is available at the DEM's Web site.
