Also, tomorrow is also National Hunting and Fishing Day with events going on at various locations around Georgia.

Events are sponsored by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and in our area there are two events for the entire family taking place.

From 9a to 1p a Kids Fishing Event will be held at the lower pool below the dam at Lake Lanier.

Kids attending this event can fish, try out fly tying, and view fishing demos.

Volunteers will also be on hand to help with baiting hooks and removing fish.

Additionally, an Outdoor Adventure Day will take place at Unicoi State Park from 10a to 4p.

Open to all ages, activities include: trout fishing & instruction, skeet, air gun & archery shooting, live animals and more. Unicoi State Park has a $5 parking pass fee.

Both events are free. The Georgia DNR is also waiving fishing license requirements all day Saturday for all Georgia residents.

Tomorrow, Georgia residents do NOT need a fishing license or a trout license to fish on any public waters in the state including lakes, streams, ponds and public fishing areas.
