Georgia Free Fishing Days 2017

Go fishing with family and friends without buying a fishing license during Georgia's 2017 Free Fishing Days!   Fishing is a wonderful way for parents and children to spend time together. In Georgia we have a few days in the year where you do not need to obtain a fishing license to fish at a Public Fishing area (private ponds and lakes with fees will still apply). Note that all other fishing regulations remain in effect.  

Free Fishing Days are declared by the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources to: encourage people to try fishing and help celebrate fishing as wholesome and healthy recreation; promote respect for our state's natural resources, wilderness, and wildlife; and recognize anglers for their contribution of billions of
dollars to the state's economy and financial support for programs to conserve and protect our natural resources.
