Bobby Wilson Free Fishing Day returns June 6!

On Saturday, June 6, all Tennessee residents and visitors of any age may fish for free without a license in Tennessee’s public waters.

Plus, youth ages 15 and younger may fish for free without a license all week long — from June 6 through June 12.

TWRA, communities, and partner organizations have planned special fishing events across the state. Visit the TWRA Events Page for event locations and details — just type “free fishing” in the search bar. https://license.gooutdoorstennessee.com/Event/EventsHome.aspx

Free Fishing Day and Free Fishing Week apply to Tennessee public waters, TWRA-owned and operated lakes, and state park facilities.
