INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has announced four Free Fishing Days starting in May.

These four days will include May 12, June 1-2, and September 28.

On these Free Fishing Days, Indiana residents will not need a fishing license or a trout/salmon stamp to fish the state's public waters. All other rules such as seasons, bag and size limits will still apply.

The DNR encourages residents to use Free Fishing Days as an opportunity to learn how to fish, take youth fishing, or introduce a friend to fishing.

Also on Free Fishing Days, Learn to Fish Program workshops allow individuals new to fishing to learn without purchasing a license.

For more information, visit the DNR website.
