Free Fishing Weekend
June 7-8, 2008
It's reel fun with a catch
!
Load up the car with friends, family and fishing poles this June 7-8 and enjoy a free weekend of fishing.
Hoosier adults do not need a license to fish Indiana's public waters during Free Fishing Weekend. Children under the age of 17 do not need a fishing license at any time.
To help kids and adults celebrate Free Fishing Weekend, recreation areas located across Indiana are planning fun fishing derbies, casting clinics as well as fish cleaning and cooking classes.
Check out a new lake or river, or introduce friends and family to a favorite fishing spot. Some properties require pre-registration. Call your favorite property for details.
Although no fishing license is needed to fish public waters on Free Fishing Weekend, all other fishing regulations are still in effect.
Individuals who need reasonable modifications for effective participation in Free Fishing Weekend events at DNR properties should contact the property at least 72 hours before the event. Or, call the DNR ADA Coordinator at 317-232-4145.
