Georgians will have two chances to fish for free, without a license, this month.

The two Free Fishing Days, June 5 and June 12, are in honor of National Fishing and Boating Week. 

Melissa Cummings with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources said it’s a good chance for people who aren’t sure about fishing to give it a try.

“It’s kind of like that one free trial class, except we’re giving you two of them within the same week,” she said.

A fishing license costs $15 for one year. New anglers can buy them and learn about fishing in Georgia at georgiawildlife.com.
