NORRIS, TN -- Fish Free Day. This free, public event will be held on Saturday, June 6, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at at the Miller Island boat access. It is sponsored by the Clinch River Chapter of Trout Unlimited (TU).
The event coincides with the statewide Tennessee Free Fishing Day, so no fishing licenses are required. Cooperating with TU in the free, public event are the Tennessee Valley Authority and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
Activities will include lessons in bait fishing, spin fishing and fly fishing, plus fly tying and boat rides. Equipment will be available for loan to children who don’t have any.
The Miller Island boat access is on River Road just off Highway 441 in Norris. To get there from I-75, take Clinton/Norris Exit 122 and turn east; pass the Museum of Appalachia and turn left on Highway 441 toward Norris Dam; just past Island Home Baptist Church, turn left on River Road; drive about a quarter-mile and take the first right into the parking lot.
