KUSA — KUSA - Get outside this weekend without breaking the bank.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is putting on their annual Free Fishing Weekend on June 2 and 3. That means you won't need a license to fish, although entry fees to state parks still apply.

The goal is to introduce more people to fishing and get families outdoors. And there’s no shortage of options for where to go.

Colorado has about 2,500 lakes and reservoirs and nearly 10,000 miles of fishable streams and rivers. Each year, CPW fills Colorado's waters with about 90 million fish.

If you haven’t fished before, CPW has put together some quick tips to help get you started.
