Free Ice Fishing Weekend

North Dakota’s free ice fishing weekend is Dec. 27-28. Resident anglers may fish those two days without a license. Residents 15 and younger do not need a fishing license at any time of year. All other winter fishing regulations apply.

The weekend provides a great opportunity to try fishing for the first time or take someone new.
