Free Fishing Day

There’s no better way to spend quality time together with the family than with a day of fishing.

Free Fishing Day takes place on the Saturday of the first full week in June. Anyone (resident or non-resident) of any age can fish free without a license in Tennessee’s public waters, agency owned and operated lakes, and Tennessee State Parks.

Free Fishing Week always follows Free Fishing Day in June. Children, ages 15 and younger can fish for free all week in Tennessee’s public waters, agency owned and operated lakes, and Tennessee State Parks.

Treat yourself and your family to a quality outdoor experience and catch memories today!
