North Dakota’s free ice fishing weekend is Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 28-29. Resident anglers may fish those two days without a license. Residents 15 and younger do not need a fishing license at any time of year. All other winter fishing regulations apply.

The weekend provides a great opportunity to try fishing for the first time or take someone new.

Contact the North Dakota Game and Fish Department for Information on regulations, where to fish and what equipment is needed to ice fish.
