Free fish Saturday
Saturday is free fishing day in Tennessee. All residents and visitors can fish free without a license in the state’s public waters.
Every year since 1991, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has proved the annual free fishing opportunity in hopes of introducing children and families to fishing and the outdoors. The closest public water to Cherokee County is the Lake Ocoee Reservoir or Tellico Reservoir.
The state’s free fishing day is named in honor of Bobby Wilson who retired in 2022 after more than 40 years of service to the agency.
