Numerous events are scheduled for Free Fishing Day.

In addition, children ages 15 and younger may fish without a license beginning on Free Fishing Day through the following Friday (June 15).

All events are great opportunities to introduce children to the enjoyment and excitement of a day on the water catching fish. The TWRA is among several organizations planning special fishing events, primarily for youngsters.
