Today is one of several free fishing days in Indiana this year.

The DNR says on these days , Indiana residents who are age 18 and older can fish public waters without needing a fishing license or a trout stamp.
The DNR Go FishIN program will again offer free Family Learn to Fish Workshops at selected sites. Evansville, Indianapolis, Lafayette, Terre Haute, and Vincennes will host the workshops In the three-hour workshops, families gain basic fishing knowledge and skills so that they will be able to fish confidently on their own in the future. The workshop in Vincennes will be at Fox Ridge Park from 9 to noon.

On the most recent Free Fishing Day, 31 families learned how to fish in six workshops across the state.

The other Free Fishing Days for 2016 are June 4 and 5. For more information on Free Fishing Days or the workshops, see  http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/7545.htm
