Event details
This ongoing program runs from Friday, June 14, to Sunday, June 16. Hours are 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources sponsors one weekend each summer to sample fishing without requiring a fishing license, and here’s the bonus — it’s Father’s Day weekend! Dad gets a container of bait on the house and a small gift. House fishing poles are available free on loan. Regular fishing limits apply.
