COLORADO (KOAA) — Colorado Parks and Wildlife invited resident and nonresident anglers of all ages to participate in Free Fishing Weekend, waiving all fishing license and habitat stamp requirements.
The state offers more than 35 warm and cold-water species across 6,000 miles of streams and more than 1,300 lakes and reservoirs.
Anglers still had to follow any posted signs about water closures and all standard fishing regulations during the free weekend.
On Sunday, many people were out enjoying the warm weather, lining the banks of Quail Lake, hoping to catch some fish.
"It's a great experience to bond with your family, with your kids. Get out of house, drop the electronics, go do something."
"I was going to go get us some licenses, me and the little guy. But today was, this weekend was free fishing, so let's try it out. I didn't know if he knew how to do it or wanted to do it before I bought the license, so it was a good thing for me."
