The Clinch River Chapter of Trout Unlimited will have a Kids Fish Free Day on the Clinch River in Norris on Saturday, June 8.
It’s open to all children ages 3-16, and admission is free, a press release said. Registration is necessary so that organizers can plan for food. Visit the Chapter’s website http://crctu.org/ and scroll down on the home page to the KFFD registration form.
Children will be fishing, tying flies, riding in boats, eating hot dogs, and signing up for door prizes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 8. The event will be at the Miller Island boat access on the Clinch River in Norris.
Kids Fish Free Day coincides with the statewide Tennessee Free Fishing Day, so no fishing licenses are required. Cooperating in the event are the Tennessee Valley Authority, TVA Retirees Association, and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
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.
Clinch River Chapter Trout Unlimited works to preserve and protect the Clinch River tailwater and its watershed through conservation projects and through education of children and adults in aquatic natural resources. Meetings are held the second Thursday of the month at the Norris Community Center except when outdoor activities are scheduled.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
