Hoosiers do not need a fishing license, June 9 and 10
Catch a smile June 9 at Atterbury Fish and Wildlife Area's 14th annual Kids Fishing Derby. The festivities at Stone Arch Lake will include a free morning fishing derby, fly tying and casting demonstrations, and more.
Programs run from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Fishing tackle prizes will be awarded in a fishing contest for kids between 2 and 16 years old.
Children who have rods and tackle should bring their own equipment. A limited amount of loaner equipment will be available. Bait and snacks will be provided. Fishing will be from the bank. An adult should accompany all children.
The Kids Fishing Derby celebrates Indiana's Free Fishing Weekend. Hoosier adults do not need a license to fish Indiana public waters, June 9 and 10. (Children under the age of 17 do not need a license at any time.) Although no license is needed, all other fishing regulations are still in effect.
