Free Fishing Days in Virginia are this weekend, June 6-8. Try it, you'll be hooked!

Come cast a line with us in Damascus, Virginia and choose from miles of stream on Laurel Creek, Whitetop Laurel, the South Fork of the Holston River, and the Virginia portion of Beaverdam Creek.

From Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources: "No fishing license of any kind will be required for recreational rod and reel fishing during free fishing days. Also during that time facilities use permits will also not be required...All fishing regulations including size, season, catch limits, and gear restrictions will remain in effect. DWR fee fishing areas still require a fee for Free Fishing Days weekend."

Catch of the Day in Damascus, Virginia: Check out this monster trout with the young angler who reeled him in this week! We'd bet this trout has quite some tales to tell.
