Contact: Dave Carney, 423-569-9778 The Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area will be observing Tennessee's free fishing day Saturday, June 7. Saturday, June 7, is Free Fishing Day in Tennessee and anyone (resident or non-resident) of any age may fish free without a license in Tennessee's public waters! In addition, those 15 years old or younger, may fish free the entire week, beginning on Free Fishing Day, June 7, and running through the following Friday, June 13! This day and week are annual events in Tennessee and are great opportunities to introduce children to the joys and excitement of a day on the water catching fish! Not only is fishing a great family activity, it helps make us more aware of our natural environment.
