INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The first of Indiana’s four Free Fishing Days will be Sunday.
On Free Fishing Days, Indiana residents can fish the state’s public waters without a fishing license or a trout/salmon stamp.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says fishing is a great opportunity to relax and connect with the outdoors while practicing social distancing. It says May is an especially good time to fish because waters are warming and the fish are biting.
For public places to fish, see the Where to Fish map at on.IN.gov/where2fish. You can also find nearby urban water with catchable-size channel catfish or rainbow trout at wildlife.IN.gov/7508.htm.
This year’s remaining Free Fishing Days are June 6-7 and Sept. 26. To learn more about Free Fishing Days, go to dnr.IN.gov/fishfree.
