On Saturday, Aug. 31, California residents get a free day of fishing.

According to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the free day at various areas throughout the state is a way for fishing enthusiasts and others to enjoy a day out on the water.

California residents usually have to pay $49.94 for a yearly pass, while a one-day license will cost $16.20.

But on August 31, those fees will be relaxed. However, all other fishing regulations will be enforced as usual.
