During the month of June, Georgia celebrates anglers & fishing with Free Fishing Days and lots of fun Kids Fishing Events. You don’t need a fishing license to have a ‘reel’ good time, in Georgia on June 6 & 13, 2015. On these days, Georgia welcome people of all ages to fish for free. In fact, June’s calendar is filled with family fun fishing events all over the state. Grab a fishing rod and go fish Georgia!
If you’ve never been fishing, you might want to start at the Go Fish Education Center where you can learn all about Georgia’s native fish and how to catch them. Click here to read about our adventure at the Go Fish Education Center in Perry, Georgia.
