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

The rule, not a date
South Carolina holds free fishing days on which no licence is needed in public fresh water. The pages read for this entry carried no dates, so none are claimed here — check SCDNR before relying on it.
We found no page where SCDNR 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.
