Free Fishin' in Texas June 2

Got the hankerin' go "dip a line in the water," but don't want to have to dip your wallet for buying a fishing license? Saturday, June 2, you can fish in Texas without a license. The special day in the Lone Star state, was authorized by the Texas Legislature, to promote fishing and encourage people to enjoy the state's fishing resources. Both resident and nonresident recreational anglers will be allowed to fish without a license and will not be required to have special stamps such as the saltwater or freshwater fishing stamps.

Hey, if you like the free fishing day, you can make any day a free fishing day through August 2008. How so? Just park your RV in a Texas state park that has fishing available, and you won't need a license. Of course, you still have to pay for your site, but it is a perk.
