Tomorrow [Sat. Sept. 3] will be the second of California's two "License Free" fishing days. The state created this program to allow families, newcomers, and other non-anglers an opportunity to give the sport a try without the expense of purchasing a license.

The state schedules two license-free days each year, usually associated with the Fourth of July and Labor Day holidays.
