The second of four Free Fishing Days in Indiana is Saturday, May 18.

On Free Fishing Days, Indiana residents can fish public waters without a fishing license or salmon/trout stamp. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources says it's an opportunity for families to learn to fish together. Children age 17 and younger do not need a license on any day.

There will be several Family Learn to Fish workshops on May 18 throughout the state. All events run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.. Advance registration is required.
