This weekend, you’re invited to find a spot to go fishing. And you won’t even need a license. Yes, it’s that time of year again, and the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is staging a Free Fishing Weekend. While the state temporarily removed the need to hold a fishing license in order to help people find a recreational outlet during the early days of the pandemic, that rule only covered the month of April. Since then, licenses have been required.
