Free fishing day set for Saturday

Saturday is the second of four free fishing days in Indiana this year.

On these special days, Hoosiers can fish public waters without needing a fishing license or a trout stamp. Free fishing days are prime opportunities for families to learn to fish because adults do not need a fishing license on those days, and children ages 17 and younger do not need a license on any day.

A number of events will be held across the state. Information on free fishing day events is at dnr.IN.gov/fishfree.

Several family learn to fish workshops are scheduled. Advance registration is required. Some of the workshops are already full, but others have spots available.

People interested in attending a free fishing day event should contact the host property in advance because some activities require registration.

The final two free fishing days for 2018 are June 2 and 3.
