Volunteers and students participated in the 70th fishing day at the the Rodgers' property in Jim Thorpe, now the Germantown Grove Club.

Pennsylvania has about 800,000 licensed fishermen, but on Sunday even people who don’t have a license get special treatment.

Everyone can fish for free.

It’s one of two Fish for Free days the state Fish and Boat Commission is sponsoring this year.

The next is on July 4, Independence Day. The commission says even though you can fish for free, all other fishing regulations apply.
