Indiana's Next Free Fishing Day Is Saturday

May 18 is one of Indiana's free fishing days when no license is required for Hoosiers to cast their reels.

On Free Fishing Days, all Indiana residents can fish public waters without a fishing license or a salmon/trout stamp.

Children 17 and younger do not need a license to fish on any day, making Free Fish Days a prime time for a family outing.
