‘Kids Fish Free Day’ event is scheduled for June 11

Clinch River Chapter of Trout Unlimited will host its Kids Fish Free Day from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, June 11, at the Miller Island boat access area on River Road in Norris.

It’s open to all youth up to 16 years old.

To register for this event, go to crctu.org.

The registration form is on the bottom of the home page.

This information is important to the organizers, as they will need to know about the equipment needed and how much food to plan for, they said.

The event is limited to 50 youth, and organizers will be cooking hot dogs.

Water will be on hand, but if participants have something special they like to drink, they are asked to bring what they will need.

Activities will include casting instruction, fly tying, boat rides, and, of course, wade fishing in the river.

Kids Fish Free Day coincides with the statewide Tennessee Free Fishing Day.

Trout Unlimited partners in the event are the Tennessee Valley Authority and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
