Those that haven’t fished in sometime may be lured to the waters this weekend.
Adult in Indiana do not need a fishing license to fish state waters during Free Fishing Weekend, which is June 7 and 8.
Clint Kowalik, DNR Go FishIN coordinator, suggested several Free Fishing Weekend options for adults and families.
“Go alone to a quiet, secret spot, explore new waters with your family, or take a kid to a local fishing derby or city park pond,” Kowalik said.
