National Fishing and Boating Week (NFBW) is an annual, national celebration of fishing and boating coordinated by RBFF.  Coinciding with most state’s free fishing days, NFBW occurs the first full week of June.

Be part of this national effort by hosting or sponsoring a NFBW event.  It's a great way to promote the joys of boating and fishing and increase traffic to your store, awareness of your agency, or participation in your organization.
