Events set statewide for Free Fishing Day April 15

This Saturday, April 15, is the first of four Free Fishing Days in Indiana in 2017.

On these special days, Indiana residents can fish public waters without needing a fishing license or a trout stamp.

Free Fishing Days are opportunities for families to learn to fish because adults don’t need a license.

Family Learn to Fish events will take place at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and at Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge near Seymour from 9 a.m. to noon.

Persons interested in attending a Free Fishing Day event should contact the host property in advance because some activities may require registration.

The other free fishing days for 2017 are May 20 and June 3-4.
