Kentuckians without a fishing license who want to cast a line this weekend can do so without worrying about getting into trouble. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources annual “Free Fishing Weekend” is Saturday and Sunday. Jeff Ross is with the department’s fisheries division.
“We kind of look at as a test drive. For those that don't have a fishing license, they may never fish before, they may have fished, you know, a couple times when they're younger and thinking maybe I want to get back into this, but they might not want to buy a license yet.”
