Free Fishing This Weekend

Last updated on Friday, June 3, 2016

(UNDATED) - This weekend is the last chance in 2016 for adults to fish for free in Indiana.

June 4 and 5 are the final two days of four Free Fishing Days this year.

On these special days, Indiana residents who are age 18 and older can fish public waters without needing a fishing license or a trout stamp.

Free Fishing Weekend is a great opportunity to take someone fishing who doesn't already have a license. It's also a great time to teach families how to fish because adults don't need a license on those days, and kids younger than age 18 never need a license.

The DNR Go FishIN program will offer free Family Learn to Fish Workshops in Carmel, Porter County, Edinburgh and Evansville. These are the last of 16 Family Learn to Fish Workshops in 2016.

In these three-hour workshops, attendees will learn basic fishing skills so that they can fish confidently on their own.

Also this weekend, city, county and state parks will be hosting fishing derbies. For more information on Free Fishing Days or the workshops, see GoFishin.IN.gov.
