What's New?
If you're reading this, you probably remember your first fish and its impact on your life. Most anglers get their start early on in their lives and the reason is because somebody decided to take them fishing. It's always fun to introduce someone to fishing and the "take a kid fishing" mantra has been stated for years, but the important part is to make the experience enjoyable and catch fish.

The majority of the proposed regulation changes Indiana announced recently deserve public support.
State biologists have put several recommended changes up for sportsmen to consider and offer them a chance to express opinions on the states website www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/7373.htm. Thats also where you can find details on all of the proposals. The deadline for comment is Feb. 28.
