CONCORD — New Hampshire would have an additional free fishing day on the third Saturday in January, under rules proposed by the state Fish and Game Department that will be the topic of a public hearing at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 6 at the N.H. Fish and Game Department, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord.

The State Legislature authorized the addition of a second free fishing day earlier this year in order to provide an opportunity for those interested in trying ice-fishing. On free fishing days, people can fish without a license. All other regulations must be followed, and anyone participating in a fishing tournament must hold a license.
