Indiana DNR announces free fishing weekend
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Department of Natural Resources announced that the final two free fishing days of the year will take place June 2-3.
On designated free fishing days, Indiana residents can fish public waters without a fishing license or trout stamp.
DNR properties and other sites throughout the state will host youth and family fishing events over the weekend.
Although a license is not required, the DNR encourages anyone interested in attending an event to contact the host property in advance, because some activities may require registration.
