TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) A little rain couldn’t stop Hoosiers from around the state from taking part in free fishing weekend.
It’s the one weekend out of the year in which Indiana residents can fish in public bodies of water without a license.
Free fishing weekend is followed by national fishing and boating week which highlights the importance of boating and fishing.
Anthony Barenie, recruitment, retention and reactivation manager Indiana Department of Natural Resources says, this weekend is not only about fun but potentially learning a new skill.
“It gives an opportunity for those with family or friends who might be interested in fishing,” said Barenie. “For them to take their family and friends with them. To introduce them to the sport. To introduce them into the hobby.”
Fort Wayne Fire and Police departments responded to a reported drowning Friday evening on the St. Marys River Greenway.

JASONVILLE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) With summer approaching, community and state park pools are gearing up for what they anticipate is a busy season. However, there have been setbacks, including a lifeguard shortage.
Many pools in Indiana have yet to welcome back visitors in over a year.
“We’re working hard to make sure people have a pool or beach to swim at,” Ginger Murphy, Deputy Director for Stewardship with Indiana D.N.R., said.
Officials with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources say many state park pools are also having difficulties getting enough supplies, like lumber and chemicals, to maintain their facilities.
