Good morning and welcome to Freedom New Mexico’s Wednesday briefing.
Free fishing
Saturday is not only National Fishing Day, it’s free fishing day across New Mexico.
The state game commission is granting all anglers, residents and non-residents a day of free fishing on public waters.
On this special day, no one needs a license or stamp, although bag limits and all other fishing rules apply.
