Free fishing days in Arkansas
AGFC sets them by a recurring rule rather than a fixed date.
On these days you can fish Arkansas waters without a license. Nothing else changes: limits, sizes, seasons and closed waters all still apply.

The rule, not a date
Arkansas holds a free fishing weekend each year in June, on which no licence is needed. All other rules stay in force. The pages read for this entry name no 2026 dates, so none are claimed here.
We found no page where AGFC states this year's dates outright, so the rule stands here instead of a date we worked out ourselves. A calculated date that turns out wrong costs someone a fine.
What a free day does not cover
- Bag limits, size limits and closed seasons are unchanged.
- Waters that are closed stay closed.
- A free day waives the license, not the rules the license comes with.
