Indiana residents can fish public waters for free this weekend.
On free fishing days, a fishing license isn’t required. But all other rules apply, such as seasons, bag and size limits.
At Paynetown SRA at Monroe Lake Saturday, there will be a fishing derby for kids 16 and under from 7 to 8:30 p.m. You can borrow equipment there or bring your own — bait will be provided.
The next free fishing day will be September 26.
WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.
“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
