PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- If you want to fish this Memorial Day Weekend, you don't have to go out and buy a license. 

Sunday, May 28 is the first fish-for-free day of the season. It allows anyone to legally fish in Pennsylvania waterways without a license.

Trout/salmon and Lake Erie permits also aren't required. 

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission said fish-for-free days are a great way for families to "catch" the fun of fishing.

The second fish-for-free day of this year is scheduled for July 4.  

All other fishing regulations still apply.
